2-2. ADR Magistrate Judge


The Judges of the Western Division will designate a United States Magistrate Judge as the ADR Magistrate Judge.  The ADR Magistrate Judge is responsible for working with the Clerk’s Office staff assigned to work on the ADR program, consulting with the mediators on matters of policy, program design and evaluation, education, training, and administration.  The ADR Magistrate Judge shall rule on all requests to be excused from appearing in person at mediation sessions and hear and determine all complaints alleging violations of these ADR Local Rules.  When necessary, the District Judge for the Western Division, to whom the case is assigned, will perform, temporarily, the duties of the ADR Magistrate Judge.  When the term “court” or “judge” appears in the balance of these rules, the term includes the ADR Magistrate Judge.
