This matter comes before the Court on pro se Defendant Andrew Myers’s motion for
waiver of mediation fees. Dkt. No. 73. Mr. Myers filed a declaration and application to proceed
in forma pauperis and declared “[t]he court is requesting the parties undergo mediation, which I
consent to, but I cannot pay for.” Id. at 2. The Court DENIES Mr. Myer’s motion as it is not the
proper procedure to request pro bono mediation. If the parties wish to participate in a mediation
free of charge under Local Rules W.D. Wash. LCR 39.1(c)(4), they must complete and submit a
Request

for

Pro

Bono

Mediation,
