   Mediation Referral Order for Pro Se Employment Discrimination Cases

   MEDIATION REFERRAL ORDER FOR PRO SE EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CASES: IT IS ORDERED that, upon the filing of a Defendant's Answer, this pro se action will be referred for mediation to the court's Mediation Program. Should a Defendant file a motion to dismiss instead of an Answer, this order will not take effect and any referral for mediation notwithstanding a pending motion must happen upon subsequent order of the Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any objection by Plaintiff or a Defendant to the mediation must be filed within 14 days of the filing of that Defendant's Answer. Any objection will be considered waived if not filed within this time. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, unless Plaintiff objects within 14 days of a Defendant's filing of an Answer, the Clerk of Court shall attempt to locate pro bono counsel for the limited purpose of representing Plaintiff at the mediation. The parties are advised that the search for pro bono counsel will not commence unless and until the time for parties to object to mediation and the request for counsel has passed. Pro bono counsel will contact Plaintiff directly. Pro bono counsel will represent Plaintiff solely for purposes of the mediation, and that representation will terminate at the conclusion of the mediation process. The time to assign a mediator under Local Civil Rule 83.9 and the court's Mediation Program Procedures will be deferred until pro bono counsel has filed a Notice of Limited Appearance of Pro Bono Counsel. Local Civil Rule 83.9 and the Mediation Program Procedures shall govern the mediation. Unless otherwise ordered, the mediation will have no effect upon any scheduling order issued by this Court, and all parties are obligated to continue to litigate this action. SO ORDERED.
