Chapter 11
Bankruptcy Case No. 16-11819 (BLS)

Civil Action No. 17-731-RGA

RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 24th day of August, 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 August 24, 2017 for an initial review
and discussion with the pro se Appellant and counsel for Appellee to determine the
appropriateness of mediation in this matter;
WHEREAS, as a result of the above screening process, the issues involved
in this case are not amenable to mediation and 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this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory referral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 have
advised there will be no objections filed 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.
A scheduling order for briefing the issues on this appeal will be needed. To the
extent possible, the parties intend to file a joint appendix which will include the documents
designated on this appeal. Counsel for Appellee has agreed to prepare the joint appendix
and provide a copy of the designated documents to Appellant.

Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Pat Thynge
