N.D. Ohio LR 16.7
Other ADR Procedures
A Judge may utilize other methods of court-annexed alternative dispute resolution
procedures, including Summary Jury Trials, Summary Bench Trials, and Arbitration, or
recommend or facilitate the use of any extrajudicial procedures for dispute resolution not
otherwise provided for by these Local Rules.
In the event a reference to extrajudicial procedures is made, all further court-annexed
case management procedures may be stayed and an administrative closing of the case may be
made pursuant to Administrative Office guidelines for cases in which all presently contemplated
proceedings have been completed. (See Guide to Judiciary Policies and Procedures, Volume XI,
Chapter 5, Subsection III, H, p. 26).
If the case is resolved extrajudicially, then the administrative closing order may be
supplemented with a terminal dispositive order. If the case is not resolved extrajudicially, the
case may be returned to a court-annexed case management protocol for processing and ultimate
disposition.
