MEMORANDUM ORDER
This Court just received the litigants’ “Stipulation To Stay
Pretrial Deadlines” in this action, and the previously-scheduled
status hearing has been held this morning.

That joint request is

granted, and this Court enters these orders to implement the
stipulation:
1.

In light of the parties’ agreement to mediate their

dispute before mediator Michael Leech on September 14, the
previously-entered directive for filing a final pretrial
order and an ensuing pretrial conference is vacated.
2.

Dkt. 54, a pending motion addressing the need to

take the deposition of Craig Perry, is treated as having
been withdrawn without prejudice.
3.

This action is set for a status hearing at 9 a.m.

September 21, 2011.

If shortly before that date the parties

are still engaged in the course of mediation, there is no
need for them to appear in court to convey that information
to this Court--instead a telephone call to this Court’s

minute clerk will suffice to defer the status hearing to a
later date.
