Date Filed Document Text
November 22, 2021 Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The parties' motion to compel Lex-London to participate in mediation #12 is denied, without prejudice. Lex-London is not a party before the court and the court is aware of no authority it has over that entity to compel it to attend a private mediation. The JAMS mediator or the judge presiding over Lex-London's declaratory judgment action may have such authority. If the parties can cite authority for the proposition that a federal court can compel an entity that has not been brought before the court's jurisdiction (by a summons or a subpoena) to attend a private mediation, the court will reconsider the motion. Notices mailed. (psm, )
