Proceedings:

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REMAND (DKT. 20)
PLAINTIFF AND COUNTER-DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS COUNT
TWO OF HYUNDAI ROTEM COMPANY'S FIRST AMENDED
COUNTERCLAIMS (DKT. 39)
STATUS CONFERENCE RE AGREED UPON PRIVATE NEUTRAL

The motion hearing is held. The Court states its tentative views that it is inclined to deny Plaintiff’s Motion
to Remand (the “Remand Motion”) and deny Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Count Two
of Hyundai Rotem Company’s First Amended Counterclaims (the “Motion”). Counsel address the Court.
The Court takes the Remand Motion and Motion UNDER SUBMISSION and a ruling will be issued.
The status conference is held. The parties previously worked with Bruce Friedman. Defense counsel
believes further discovery might be productive before participating in a meaningful mediation session.
The Court leaves it to the parties as to when it would be best to participate in the mediation. However, the
dates with respect to settlement remain. Dkt. 37, 38.
In light of the Motion, the April 3, 2017 hearing is taken off calendar. Dkt. 38.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
