On May 2, 2014, plaintiff filed a letter stating that the parties could not reach an agreement on
whether the settlement conference should be conducted by a Magistrate Judge or by a private mediator.
Docket No. 36. It appears from the letter that the parties are unable to jointly agree on private
mediation. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties to inform the Court within seven days from the
date of this order whether they will jointly agree for the action to be referred to Court-sponsored
mediation. If the parties cannot agree to Court-sponsored mediation, the Court will refer the action to
a Magistrate Judge to conduct a settlement conference.
