`
`Do you believe that this case may be amenable to mediation? □ Yes □ No
`✔
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`If you answered no, explain why not
`The parties attempted mediation in August, 2012. Plaintiff refused Defendant's offer of post-trial
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`settlement discussions in March 2013, so Defendant understands that Plaintiff currently has no further
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`interest in mediation.
