ORDER
Blackburn, J.
The matter before me is the Parties’ Joint Motion To Stay Case Pending
Mediation and To Reset Certain Deadlines [#198],1 filed February 21, 2014. The
parties represent that they have scheduled mediation for April 17, 2014, and are
“hopeful an amicable resolution of this case can be reached.” (Motion ¶ 5 at 3.)
Having reviewed the motion and being adequately advised of the premises, the
court finds and concludes that the motion is well-taken and should be granted. In
addition, in order to ensure that the mediation occurs on a level playing field, the court
will deny all currently pending motions without prejudice.2

“[#198]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a
specific paper by the court’s case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this
convention throughout this order.

With the consent of the magistrate judge, the court will withdraw the reference as to those
pending motions that have been referred to him for recommendation.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Parties’ Joint Motion To Stay Case Pending Mediation and To
Reset Certain Deadlines [#198], filed February 21, 2014, is GRANTED;
2. That this case is STAYED;
3. That the telephonic setting conference currently scheduled for February 25,
2014, is VACATED and CONTINUED pending further order;
4. That the reference [#102] of Defendants’ Motion To Dismiss Plaintiffs’
Second Claim for Relief in the First Amended Complaint [#97], filed September 30,
2013, and the reference [#101] of Defendant Jeffrey Moyer’s Motion To Dismiss
Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2) for Lack
of Personal Jurisdiction [#98], filed September 30, 2013, are WITHDRAWN, with the
consent of the magistrate judge;
5. That all currently pending motions are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; and
6. That by April 22, 2014, the parties SHALL FILE a joint status report
addressing the outcome of the mediation and the necessity of continuing or lifting the
stay.
Dated February 24, 2014, at Denver, Colorado.
