Bankruptcy Case No. 15-11934
BAP No. 16-72

RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 25th day of January, 2017.
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 January 25, 2017 for an initial review
and discussion with appellant and counsel for appellee 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.
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this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory referral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.

The parties were advised of their right to file objections to this Recommendation
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a) and D. DEL. LR 72.1, and
advised that no objections would be file to this Recommendation.
The parties further request a conference with the Court to discuss the issues that
will be addressed on appeal prior to the entry of any briefing Order.
Local counsel are obligated to inform out-of-state counsel of this Order.
