Document:
(a) All employment discrimination actions filed in this Court must undergo early neutral evaluation as defined by this Rule. The purpose of the early neutral evaluation session is for the evaluating magistrate judge to give the parties a candid evaluation of the merits of their claims and defenses. For purposes of this Rule, “employment discrimination action” includes actions filed under the following statutes: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42 U.S.C. § 2000, et seq.; Title I of the Americans With Disabilities Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq.; prohibition of employment discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981; Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 626, et seq.; Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206; Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008, 42 U.S.C. § 2000ff, et seq.; Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794; and under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, if the complaint alleges discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, and/or religion.
(b) In the event an action is not initially assigned to the Early Neutral Evaluation Program, an action must be assigned to the Program upon the filing by any party of a notice stating that action falls under one or more of the statutes listed in LR 16-6 (a).
(c) Motions for relief from early neutral evaluation must be filed not later than seven (7) days after the appearance in the case of the moving party or entry of an order pursuant to LR 16-1(b). A response to the motion for relief from early neutral evaluation must be filed within fourteen (14) days after service of the original motion. No reply will be allowed. Motions filed under LR 16-6(c) are not subject to the requirements of LR 7-2. The evaluating magistrate judge shall have final authority to grant or deny any motion requesting exemption from early neutral evaluation and may exempt any case from early neutral evaluation on the judge’s own motion. Such orders are not appealable.
(d) Unless good cause is shown, the early neutral evaluation session shall be held by the Court not later than ninety (90) days after the first responding party appears in the case.
(e) Unless excused by the evaluating magistrate judge, the parties with authority to settle the case and their counsel shall attend the early neutral session in person.
(f) Parties shall submit to the chambers of the evaluating magistrate judge their written evaluation statements by 4:00 p.m. seven (7) days prior to the early evaluation hearing. The written evaluation statement shall not be filed with the Clerk or served on the opposing parties.
(2) Each evaluation statement shall remain confidential unless a party gives the Court permission to reveal some or all of the information contained within the statement.
(8) Determine whether some form of follow-up to the session would contribute to the case development process or to settlement.
