The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Status Report filed November 19, 2015. (Dkt. No. 17.)

14

Pursuant to Plaintiff’s request, the Court refers this case to the Court’s ADR program for

15

mediation; however, the Court encourages the parties continue their negotiations in the interim.

16

The Court’s Order asking Plaintiff for a status update also asked Plaintiff to advise the

17

Court as to how he intends to proceed against non-appearing defendant Chung Lee. In other

18

words, does he intend to seek a default judgment against Lee or shall the Court dismiss Lee from

19

the lawsuit without prejudice? If he intends to seek a default judgment against Lee, are the

20

appearing parties willing to sever the claims against Lee from the claims against the answering

21

defendants so that this Court may enter judgment (or sign on to any settlement) with the consent of

22

all the parties. Plaintiff shall advise the Court as to how he intends to proceed as to Lee on or

23

before December 17, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
