PARTIES’ JOINT REQUEST TO BE

EXEMPT FROM FORMAL ADR

PROCESS

Each of the undersigned certifies that he or she has read either the handbook entitled “Dispute

Resolution Procedures in the Northern District of California,” or the specified portions of the ADR

Unit’s Internet site <www.adr.cand.uscourts.gov>, discussed the available dispute resolution

options provided by the court and private entities, and considered whether this case might benefit

from any of them. Here, the parties agree that referral to a formal ADR process will not be

beneficial because this mandamus action is limited to plaintiff’s request that this Court compel

defendants to adjudicate his application for adjustment of status. Given the substance of the action

and the lack of any potential middle ground, ADR will only serve to multiply the proceedings and

unnecessarily tax court resources. 

Accordingly, pursuant to ADR L.R. 3-3(c), the parties request the case be removed from the

Case 3:07-cv-03584-SI Document 7 Filed 09/28/2007 Page 1 of 2 Case 3:07-cv-03584-SI Document 8 Filed 10/03/07 Page 1 of 2
