Chapter 11
Case No. 15-10585 (LSS)
Jointly Administered

C. A. No. 17-1152-GMS

RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 26th day of October, 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 October 19, 2017 for an initial review
and discussion to determine the appropriateness of mediation in this matter;
WHEREAS, Appellant failed to participate in the teleconference despite that
the Order for the teleconference was docketed on September 12, 2017 and a copy of the
Order was mailed to Appellant on the same date.
WHEREAS, Counsel for Appellees participated in the teleconference and
advised that they emailed Appellant the dial in number on September 19, and October 17,

2017.
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2017, Appellant docketed his brief, indicating
his intent to pursue his appeal.
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this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory referral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 are
advised of their right to file 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.
Local counsel are obligated to inform out-of-state counsel of this Order.
