ORDER
PHILIP A. BRIMMER, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff's Motion for an Order Directing the Parties to Engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution Process [Docket No. 41]. Plaintiff states that he is willing to resolve this lawsuit and specifies his settlement terms. See Docket No. 41 at 2, ¶¶ 3-4.
Local Rule 16.6 provides that the Court "may direct the parties to engage in an early neutral evaluation or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding" and, upon directing the parties to pursue alternative dispute resolution, "may stay the action in whole or in part during a time certain or until further order." D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.6(a). The Court declines to order the parties to pursue alternative dispute resolution. The Court, in the exercise of its discretion, does not believe that an order pursuant to Local Rule 16.6 would facilitate settlement in this case. Plaintiff, in filing this motion, has made defendants aware of his willingness to settle this dispute and his terms for doing so. The parties are free to engage in settlement negotiations of their own accord.
Wherefore, it is
ORDERED that plaintiff Delmart E.J.M. Vreeland's Motion for an Order Directing the Parties to Engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution Process [Docket No. 41] is DENIED.
