Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

J. BAL, et al.,
Defendants.

17

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court is plaintiff’s motion for referral of this case to the

19

Court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program. See ECF No. 100. Defendants have

20

filed an opposition. See ECF No. 102. Defendants state in their opposition that they do not

21

stipulate to referral of the case to the Court’s ADR program because they believe the case can be

22

resolved in their favor on summary judgment. See id. Given the lack of agreement on

23

participation in the Court’s ADR program, plaintiff’s motion is denied.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
