RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 14th day of August, 2014.
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, the court conducted an initial review, which included information in
writing from counsel and a teleconference on August 8, 2014, to determine the
appropriateness of mediation in this matter;
WHEREAS, as a result of the above screening process, mediation at this
stage would not be a productive exercise, a worthwhile use of judicial resources nor
warrant the expense of the process.

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this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory referral

there would be no objections pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a)
