ORDER

Defendant Michael Kratville (“Kratville”) has filed a motion requesting that this case be
removed from the jury docket and placed on the non-jury docket. (Filing 96.) Kratville asserts that
Defendant Jonathan Arrington, Elite Management Holdings Corp., and MJM Enterprises, LLC are
in default and have not filed answers in this case. Kratville also claims that Defendant Michael J.
Welke (“Welke”) has settled with Plaintiff and that Welke’s request for a jury trial may only apply
to his cross-claim against Kratville.
Plaintiff does not oppose Kratville’s motion. As of today’s date, no Defendant has filed a
response. However, before ruling on Kratville’s motion, the Court will provide Defendants one last
opportunity to respond.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that any objection to removing this case from the jury docket shall be
filed by or before July 22, 2013. If no objection is filed, the case will be placed on the non-jury
docket.
DATED June 24, 2013.
