ORDER TO STAY AND ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE CASE

Upon review of the Stipulated Motion for Stay (Doc. # 98), the Court finds the
Parties agreed to enter into a liquidating and cooperation agreement, in which they
agreed to seek to stay this action while the parties jointly prosecute Plaintiff’s claim
with the Contracting Officer and, if necessary, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.
Therefore, the Court hereby GRANTS the Motion. It is hereby

ORDERED that this action is STAYED.
The Court, upon further review, finds that rather than leaving this case open
for possibly months pending dismissal, this case should be administratively closed
pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2, with leave to be reopened for good cause shown.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this
action pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall have leave to file a request
to reopen, or shall file a motion to dismiss, within seven days of the entry of Plaintiff’s
receipt of a settlement, judgment, resolution, or award, if any, from the United States
Department of Veterans Affairs.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report every
three months, beginning with November 11, 2014.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Final Pretrial Conference set for October 28,
2014, at 9:30 AM, before Magistrate Judge Watanabe, is VACATED.
DATED: October 3, 2014
