PARK MANAGEMENT CORP,

17

Plaintiff commenced this disability access case asserting a claim under the Americans

18

with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and related state law claims, and defendant has answered the

19

complaint.

20

In an effort to allow the parties some time to pursue an early informal resolution of this

21

matter, the court finds it appropriate to refer the action to the court’s Voluntary Dispute

22

Resolution Program (“VDRP”).

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

24

1. Per the request of the parties in the Joint Status Report filed 10/11/16, (ECF No. 20),

25
26

the stay is lifted so that further discovery may proceed.
2. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, the parties shall contact the court’s VDRP

27

administrator, Sujean Park, at [phone] or [e-mail], to start

28

the process of selecting an appropriate neutral.
