ORDER

EIH Parent, LLC, a limited liability
company, and James Carkulis, an
individual,
Defendants.
On December 2, 2019, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Appointment of
Magistrate Judge to Conduct Mediation. 1 The motion states, in part: "Counsel for
the parties have conferred and suggest that Magistrate Judge John T. Johnston
would be preferable, but defer to the Court's decision on which Magistrate Judge
to appoint. " 2 The language of the motion suggests an effort to engage in judge
shopping and will not be considered by the Court.
