ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant’s pro se Motion to Vacate Order for
Mediation

[# 7]. Defendant moves to amend the Pretrial Order and Case

Management Plan to remove the requirement to conduct mediation in this case.
Defendant contends that he has no intention of settling this case via mediation and
that conducting mediation in this case would be a waste of the parties’ resources.
The Government failed to file a response to the motion, and, thus, the Court
considers the Government not to oppose the relief requested. Accordingly, the
Court GRANTS the motion [# 7]. The parties need not conduct mediation in this
matter.
