ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, or to Abate Proceedings, filed December 30, 2009 (docket # 4) and Plaintiff's Response, filed January 25, 2010 (docket #9). This action is an employee discrimination suit brought by Plaintiff against all Defendants, alleging that she was terminated because she was pregnant and was subjected to sex discrimination.
Defendants request that this action be stayed or dismissed in accordance with the employment agreement entered into by the Plaintiff and her employer.

Plaintiff is in agreement with Defendant that the best way to resolve this dispute is through arbitration. Plaintiff's consent is offered without waiver of any rights that Plaintiff would otherwise retain.
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, or to Abate Proceedings, filed December 30, 2009 (docket # 4) is GRANTED. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that all further proceedings are STAYED until arbitration has been completed. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a status report or a motion to dismiss within thirty (30) days of the completion of arbitration. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are to bear their own costs and fees.
