RE: Doc 56 has arrived2 Aug 2019 01:03
Bit deflated when reading actual doc with Judge ordering the ADR .
But then checking rules below ,cautiously still thinking good development.
(1) Consideration of ADR Processes. Counsel must include in their joint case management statement a report on the status of ADR, specifying which ADR process option they have selected and a proposed deadline by which the parties will conduct the ADR session or, if they do not agree, setting forth which option and timing each party prefers. Unless the assigned Judge already has approved a stipulation to an ADR process, counsel must be prepared to discuss all of the subjects about which they were required to meet and confer under ADR L.R. 3- 5(a). If the ADR legal staff holds an ADR Phone Conference in advance of the initial case management conference, they ordinarily will make a recommendation to the assigned Judge.
(2) Selection by Stipulation or Order. If the parties agree to a particular ADR process at the case management conference and the assigned Judge approves, the Judge will issue an order referring the case to that process. Alternatively, even if the parties do not agree, the Judge may issue an order referring the case to ENE, Mediation, or a Settlement Conference.
(3) Deferred Referral or Exemption. If, considering the views of the parties, the Judge at the case management conference concludes that the case is not ripe for an ADR referral or that no ADR process is likely to deliver benefits to the parties sufficient to justify the resources devoted to it, the Judge may defer making an ADR referral or may exempt the case from participating in any ADR process.
