RECOMMENDATION
At Wilmington this 12th day of February, 2018.
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
from counsel, 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 since the material impediments that existed in this matter before
the parties’ motions for summary judgment and the Bankruptcy Court’s decision still
remain.

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for this District and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter be withdrawn from the mandatory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 will not be filing 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 since this Recommendation is
consistent with the parties’ request to be removed from mandatory mediation.
In addition, the parties request that the Court enter the following briefing
schedule on this appeal:
Appellant’s Opening Brief

60 days from close of Designation of the
Record

Appelles Response
