(1) Complaints Alleging Material Violations. A complaint alleging that any person or party, including the mediator, has materially violated any of the ADR Local Rules shall be presented in writing directly to the ADR Magistrate Judge. Such a letter of complaint must be accompanied by a competent declaration. Copies of the letter of complaint and declaration must be sent contemporaneously to all other parties, the mediator (if identified) and the Clerk of Court. The letter of complaint and declaration shall not be filed in the case.
(2) Report by Mediator. A mediator who perceives a material violation of these ADR Local Rules shall make a written report directly to the ADR Magistrate Judge and contemporaneously provide copies to all counsel and to the Clerk of Court. Such report shall not be filed in the case.
(b) Proceeding in Response to Complaint or Report of Violation and Sanctions. If, upon receiving an appropriately presented and supported complaint or report of a material violation of these ADR Local Rules, the ADR Magistrate Judge must order a party to file a formal appropriate motion with the court, which will then be heard by the Executive Committee of the Northern District of Illinois. All parties will be allowed to participate at the hearing and present appropriate evidence.
