v.

Case No. 1:12-cv-00126-LJO-SAB
ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S FILING
(ECF NO. 34)

JAMES A. YATES,

15

Defendant.

17

On November 21, 2012, Plaintiff Harvey Curtis Baker (“Plaintiff”) filed a correspondence

18

with this Court. (ECF No. 34.) It is unclear what Plaintiff’s filing requests, if anything, or if it

19

was even intended for the Court. The filing does not have a caption, and is addressed to

20

“Program Administrator.” Plaintiff asks the “Program Administrator” for information regarding

21

the Voluntary Dispute Resolution program.

22

Plaintiff is advised that the Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program is a program available

23

in cases where all parties agree to submit their case for alternative dispute resolution, such as

24

mediation, negotiation or other forms of settlement facilitation. The Court will not submit this

25

case to the Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program unless all parties inform the Court that they

26

wish to participate. If the parties wish to refer this action to the Voluntary Dispute Resolution

27

Program, they must submit a stipulation signed by all parties.

28

Accordingly, to the extent that Plaintiff’s filing can be construed as a request or a motion,

1

it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request/motion is DENIED.
