At Wilmington, Delaware, this 28th day of January 2025,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1 of the Procedures to Govern Mediation of Appeals
from the United States Bankruptcy Court for this District (“Procedures”), dated July 19, 2023,
the Court conducted an initial review of this matter, including having gathered information from

WHEREAS the parties do not agree as to whether mediation would be helpful, and in
light of the correspondence received by the Court, the Court does not believe that mediation
would be helpful at this stage;
THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 1 of the Procedures, the Court determines that
