RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 30th day of April, 2013.
WHEREAS, pursuant to paragraph 2(a) of the Procedures to Govern
Mediation of Appeals from the United States Bankruptcy Court for this District dated
September 11, 2012, a teleconference was held on February 27, 2013 for an initial review
and discussion with appellee and counsel for appellants to determine the appropriateness
of mediation in this matter;
WHEREAS, during the screening process, appellee, who is proceeding pro
se, expressed an interest in mediation, along with appellants, and mediation was scheduled
for May 17, 2013. Thereafter, included in appellee’s very early mediation submission, he
advised he was not inclined to proceed with mediation. During a follow-up teleconference
on April 30, 2013, appellee again repeatedly reiterated his concerns about the process in
part based upon his prior attempts to resolve this matter with appellants and clearly
indicated he did not want to proceed with mediation.
WHEREAS, as a result, mediation at this stage would not be a productive
exercise, a worthwhile use of judicial resources nor warrant the expense of the process.
THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED that, pursuant to paragraph 2(a)
Procedures to Govern Mediation of Appeals from the United States Bankruptcy Court for
this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory referral
for mediation and proceed through the appellate process of this Court. By this Order, the
parties are notified of their right to file objections within fourteen (14) days of this
Recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a) and D. DEL.
LR 72.1.
Local counsel are obligated to inform out-of-state counsel of this Order.
