ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT regarding the status of this case and
scheduling concerns. This case has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate review is appropriate.
On April 10, 2019, the undersigned held a telephone conference to discuss the status of this
case and “American Bank Center’s Motion To Charge Limited Liability Company Interests Of
Stephen D. Barker” (Document No. 10). Based on that discussion, the undersigned believes there
is some likelihood that the parties can reach agreement on a proposed order that will address the
pending motion and resolve this dispute. The Court commends counsel for both sides for their
good faith efforts seeking agreement and drafting a consent order.
If the parties are unable to reach agreement, each side may file its own proposed order
addressing the pending motion.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the parties shall file a Status Report on or before
April 24, 2019, informing the Court whether the parties will be able to file a proposed consent
order in this matter.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a proposed consent order, or in
the alternative each side shall file its own proposed order, on or before May 3, 2019. If the parties
are unable to agree on a consent order, each side may file a supplemental brief of five (5) pages or
less along with their proposed order.
SO ORDERED.

Signed: April 10, 2019
