Removal (“NoR”), Docket No. 1). On February 23, 2024, Defendants filed an
Answer to Complaint. (Docket No. 7).
On February 29, 2024, the Court filed an Order Setting Scheduling
Conference. (Docket No. 8). The Court has now reviewed the parties’ Joint Rule
26(f) Report (the “Report”), filed March 18, 2024. (Docket No. 10). The
Scheduling Conference on April 1, 2024, has been vacated. (Docket No. 11).
In the Report, Plaintiff proposed pretrial and trial dates as required by the

subject to arbitration,” and “Defendants will move to compel arbitration if Plaintiff
will not stipulate to arbitration.”
The Court now ORDERS Defendants to SHOW CAUSE in writing why
the Court should not order that Defendants have waived their right to pursue
arbitration in this matter. In response to this Order to Show Cause (“OSC”), the
