ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO STAY [DOC. NO. 13]
HON. MICHAEL M. ANELLO, United States District Judge.
On October 14, 2021, Plaintiff Penny A. Scott and Defendant Blackstone Consulting, Inc. filed a renewed joint motion to stay case. The Court previously denied the parties' joint motion, see Doc. No. 12, based upon Plaintiff's representation that she intended to file a motion to remand, see Doc. No. 7. According to the parties' renewed motion, Plaintiff no longer intends to proceed with a motion to remand to state court.
The parties seek to stay this case so they may participate in early mediation, which is currently scheduled for March 24, 2022. Having reviewed the joint motion, good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the motion and STAYS this case. The Court 1 further DIRECTS the parties to file a joint status report on the progress or outcome of the mediation on or before March 31, 2022 .
IT IS SO ORDERED. 2
