STIPULATION AND ORDER TO STAY THE CASE PENDING THE OUTCOME OF PRIVATE MEDIATION ECF NO. 21
Jennifer A. Dorsey, U.S. District Judge.
COME NOW the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel of record and hereby stipulate and agree and make joint application to stay certain discovery and pre-trial deadlines in this matter while the Parties engage in mediation (the “Mediation”).
Good cause exists to stay the current responsive pleading deadline in this matter. Specifically, the Parties have scheduled a Mediation for June 16, 2022, which was the earliest date that the Parties, their counsel, and the mediator were all available. The stay of the case will allow 1 the parties to explore the possibility of resolution without incurring the time and expense of ongoing litigation prior to the Mediation.
Within thirty (30) days after completion of the mediation, the Parties will submit a Stipulation and Order reflecting resolution of some or all of the claims and/or advise the Court that the Parties were unable to resolve the claims. If necessary, the Stipulation and Order will include a new deadline for Defendants' responsive pleading deadline.
ORDER
Based on this stipulation [21] and good cause appearing, IT IS ORDERED THAT THIS ACTION IS STAYED pending private mediation. Once that mediation is concluded, any party may move to lift this stay. 2
