Hummel for a mediation hearing to take place at the United States District Court, at a date to be determined. Magistrate Judge Hummel shall coordinate a time and date for the mediation hearing with all interested parties and/or their representatives. Upon the conclusion of the mediation proceedings, the referral of this matter shall be concluded and the assigned Judge and Magistrate Judge shall have jurisdiction as to all further matters in the action.
For the foregoing reasons and for good cause shown, 1. The case is hereby referred to the NDNY Prisoner Mediation Program.
2. All pretrial deadlines are hereby STAYED, until further Order of the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
