ORDER

THIS MATTER has come before the undersigned pursuant to Defendant’s
Report on Selection of Mediator and Joint Stipulation of Consent to Exercise of
Jurisdiction of United States Magistrate Judge (#15) and pursuant to the Court’s
Order (#16) setting a status conference for August 9, 2013. At the call of the status
conference on August 9, 2013, the Plaintiff did not appear. Defendant was present
and represented through James M. Dedman, IV. From the Defendant’s report
(#15) it appears that Defendant’s counsel has attempted to try to discuss the
selection of a mediator in this matter with Plaintiff and Plaintiff will not respond to
efforts made by Defendant’s counsel to contact her. Defendant has proposed that
attorney Clifford C. Marshall, Jr. of Marshall, Roth & Gregory be selected to serve
as mediator in this matter. The Court is familiar with Mr. Marshall, who is an
1

excellent attorney and mediator and finds that he would be a fit and suitable
mediator to preside over the mediation in this matter.
ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Defendant’s Report on
Selection of Mediator and Joint Stipulation of Consent to Exercise of Jurisdiction
by United States Magistrate Judge (#15), being considered as a motion, will be
ALLOWED and Clifford C. Marshall, Jr. be named as the mediator in this matter.

Signed: August 20, 2013
