Having considered the written submissions from Plaintiff and Defendant, the Court hereby DENIES Plaintiff's request to be relieved from the duty to appear in person at the early neutral evaluation. The Court notes that Plaintiff failed to comply with ADR Local Rule 5-10(d)(2) by failing to disclose the amount in controversy in the case. The Court examined the Complaint and perceives that Plaintiff is seeking more than ten million dollars in damages. Given Plaintiff's views about the value of the case, requiring Plaintiff to appear in person in this jurisdiction for an early neutral evaluation is entirely appropriate. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: November 19, 2008 _______________________________ WAYNE D. BRAZIL United States Magistrate Judge
