This matter is currently stayed while the parties engage in alternative dispute resolution.
(ECF Nos. 29, 35.) On November 16, 2018, the parties submitted a joint status report in which
they indicated that they had a discovery dispute. (ECF No. 38.) On November 21, 2018, an
informal teleconference was held to determine if the parties were amenable to the Court
resolving the discovery dispute. Counsel Boris Tryzon and David Bederman appeared for
Plaintiff and counsel Timothy Buchanan specially appeared for Defendants.
During the teleconference, Plaintiff narrowed the dispute to two items, a QBF file and
monthly cash balance reconciliation reports.
