The Court, having considered the parties’ Joint Stipulation Regarding Stay Pending Mediation

(Doc. 116), and good cause having been shown, rules that the relief requested in the Stipulation is 

hereby GRANTED. 

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

• This action is STAYED immediately for 90 days while the parties finalize their mediation 

plans. Accordingly, the hearings on the parties’ pending motions, set for May 31 and June 

14, 2023, are VACATED;

• If the parties are not able to secure a mediation date within 90 days, at the parties’ request, 

the stay is subject to an EXTENSION to a reasonable date specified by the parties in a 

future stipulation;

• During the stay, the Court will REFRAIN from ruling on the pending motions, other than 

motions pertaining to this stay or the settlement process. However, the parties will 

complete any briefing on motions filed before the date of this stipulation; and

• Within 14 days after mediation is concluded, the parties SHALL file a status report and 

propose a new case schedule, including new hearing date(s) for the pending motions, if 

appropriate.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
