MOTION FOR ORDER REQUIRING MEDIATION

COMES NOW Jeffrey M. Siskind (“Movant”) and files this Motion for Order Requiring 

Mediation, and states:

1. The Chapter 7 Trustee has published a list of 53 witnesses which it intends to call 

at trial.

2. Movant will also likely call each of the Chapter 7 Trustee’s witnesses as direct 

witnesses and plans to call at least seven additional witnesses.

3. Prior to trial, Movant will need to depose each of the witnesses named by the 

Chapter 7 Trustee, and the Chapter 7 Trustee will likely want to depose Movant’s additional 

witnesses.

Case 19-01298-MAM Doc 312 Filed 05/10/20 Page 1 of 4
4. The Chapter 7 Trustee has published a list of 146 exhibits which it intends to 

introduce at trial, many of which are composite exhibits.

5. Movant only recently received copies of the exhibits which the Chapter 7 Trustee 

plans to introduce into evidence and is assembling its responsive exhibits which may exceed the 

number of exhibits listed by the Chapter 7 Trustee. Because of the circumstances surrounding 

additional exhibits possessed by the Chapter 7 Trustee which are as yet unavailable to Movant, 

and additional exhibits which Movant will likely need to introduce to refute argument proffered 

by the Chapter 7 Trustee based upon what may be incomplete exhibits, trial time will be

extensive.

6. Inasmuch as the claims and counterclaims in this case are complex, and it appears 

that due to the lengthy list of witnesses and exhibits filed by the Chapter 7 Trustee, and those 

which will be introduced by Movant, trial may take well in excess of fifteen days, there appears 

to be a distinct benefit to an attempt to achieve a settlement prior to trial through mediation.

7. Although mediation may not resolve all pending issues in this case, it may result

in the narrowing of issues and lessen the number of witnesses needed to be scheduled to testify

and shorten the time necessary to introduce exhibits, thereby conserving judicial resources.

WHEREFORE, Movant requests that the Court mandate mediation in this matter.
