T-Peg, Inc., et al v. Isbitski, et al

Filing 168

ORDER re: parties to mediate before the Magistrate Judge. Signed by Chief Judge Steven J. McAuliffe. (jab)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE T-Peg, Inc. and Timberpeg East, Inc., Plaintiffs v. Vermont Timber Works, Inc. and Douglas Friant, Defendants ORDER Civil No. 03-cv-462-SM

A status conference was held on April 28, 2009.

The court

expressed its view that the parties ought to be able to agree upon an acceptable resolution of this case, given the relatively modest amount at stake and the disproportionate legal fees and costs associated with litigation and/or trial. Each side,

however, seems to think a principle is at stake more important than the contours of this particular dispute. The court adheres

to the view that the parties will be well served by further mediation efforts. Accordingly, the parties will appear as scheduled by the clerk for a mediation session before the Magistrate Judge. SO ORDERED.
