vs.

ORDER
STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.
This matter is before the Court following a planning conference held with counsel for the
parties on August 28, 2024, before the undersigned magistrate judge. Counsel notified the Court
that mediation has been scheduled for November 12, 2024, with Mark Christensen. Defendant
requested a stay of case progression deadlines pending mediation. Plaintiff opposed a stay and
requested that the Court set the trial and pretrial dates, given the possibility that the parties do not
settle during mediation. After consideration, the Court determined that a stay is appropriate under
the circumstances.1 Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

The Defendant’s request to stay the case pending mediation is granted. All
remaining case progression deadlines are stayed, and all hearings are terminated,
pending the outcome of mediation.

2.

On or before November 18, 2024, the parties shall notify the Court regarding the
outcome of mediation.

Dated this 28th day of August, 2024.
BY THE COURT:
s/Michael D. Nelson
United States Magistrate Judge

If mediation is unsuccessful, counsel may request a telephone conference to reset deadlines and schedule
the final pretrial conference and trial without further delay.
