ORDER
This civil action is before the Court on periodic review. On January 18, 2019, the
Court found that this litigation could benefit from mediation and ordered the parties to
mediate within 150 days of the order [Doc. 459]. On March 22, 2019, the Court approved
the appointment of Daniel J. Balhoff to serve as mediator [Doc. 466]. The parties then
filed a joint motion to extend the time to mediate [Doc. 472]. The Court granted the motion,
extending the deadline for mediation to August 16, 2019 [Doc. 474]. On August 16, 2019,
the Court noted that the mediator had failed to file a report with the Court stating the
outcome of the mediation and extended that mediation an additional sixty (60) days [Doc.
479]. After communicating with the parties and the mediator, the Court again extended
the deadline for mediation to March 31, 2020 [Doc. 488]. Mr. Balhoff filed a mediator’s

2

report to the court on April 13, 2020, indicating that mediation was terminated without
settlement [Doc. 502]. This case has been stayed since January 2019 without settlement.
Upon review of the record in this case, the Court finds that the stay currently in
effect is no longer required. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to LIFT the
stay in this matter.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
