ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte concerning the status of this case. On
December 3, 2014, the Court entered an order granting Defendant’s Motion to Stay Judicial
Proceedings and Defer to Arbitration. (Doc. No. 2). This Order directed the parties to proceed to
arbitration and to submit reports to the Court every ninety (90) days. In compliance with this
Order, Defendant submitted its first status report to the Court on March 4, 2015. (Doc. No. 6).
However, Plaintiff failed to submit a status report, as it is required to do pursuant to the Court’s
Order compelling arbitration.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause by April 21, 2015 why it has not
submitted its first report on the progress of arbitration in this case in a timely manner. Additionally,
the parties are ORDERED to submit any further status reports JOINTLY. The parties are also
reminded that, pursuant to the Court’s Order, this dispute must be resolved within six (6) months
of the date of that Order, or June 3, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
