MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion to Waive Alternative Dispute
Resolution Compliance (ECF No. 32). Plaintiffs counsel states that Plaintiff has refused
mediation. However, the Court notes that Plaintiff is under Court Order to participate in
Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"), and she may not refuse to abide by such Order.

District of Missouri, Plaintiff is required to attend the ADR conference and participate in
good faith. E.D. Mo. L.R. 6.02(B)(l). Therefore, the Court will deny Plaintiffs motion.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion to Waive Alternative Dispute
Resolution Compliance (ECF No. 32) is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no later than November 6, 2017, Plaintiff
shall file an appropriate motion for extension of the ADR deadline, with proposed dates
