24 cause, (1) continue the Case Management Conference Order in the above captioned
25 matter for 90 days, and (2) refer the matter to ADR mediation.

Exclusive of court costs and attorneys’ fees, the amount in controversy is very

27 limited in this matter. To date, the parties have attempted in good faith to informally

1 not resulted in an informal agreement, the parties jointly believe ADR mediation will do
2 so. Consistent with that joint belief, the parties have contemporaneously-filed a
3 Stipulation and [Proposed] Order selecting mediation as their preferred ADR process.

Currently, the Case Management Conference is set for February 28, 2017. In an

5 effort to aid the negotiation and mediation process, the parties have taken efforts to limit
6 the amount of court costs and attorneys’ fees spent in this matter. Consistent with that
7 effort, the parties jointly request by stipulation that the Court continue the Case
8 Management Conference for 90 days to allow the parties to first complete their ADR
9 mediation.
