ORDER GRANTING CONSENT MOTION REFERRING CLAIMS TO ARBITRATION
Before the Court is the parties’ Consent Motion Referring Claims to Arbitration. After
reviewing said motion, the Court is of the opinion that the parties’ Motion should be
GRANTED. It is therefore
ORDERED that the Consent Motion Referring Claims to Arbitration is granted in its
entirety and this case is stayed pending completion of the arbitration. The arbitration will be
conducted by William Edward Lawson unless a conflict should arise and then in such event the
arbitrator shall be Robert Calamari. The parties shall equally share in responsibility for the
compensation of the arbitrator unless otherwise directed by the arbitrator in the final
determination. The parties shall respond to such interrogatories, requests for production, and
requests to admit as either party may serve, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The parties, with the assistance and approval of the arbitrator, will agree to a schedule for such
other discovery as they may agree to conduct and for proceedings before the arbitrator. Neither
party shall have a right of appeal from the arbitrator’s decision.

This Court shall retain

jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the arbitrator’s award, if necessary.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 10th day of July, 2012.
