ORDER OF REFERRAL TO MEDIATION

The foregoing case, having been reviewed by the Court, is hereby referred to Mediation before David Ferleger, Summit Solutions, Bala Cynwyd, PA.

Within ten (10) days from the date of this Order, or such other time set by the Mediator, the Mediator shall have convened a conference of the parties, either by teleconference or in person. The mediation shall be completed within 45 days from the date of this Order at a location agreed to by the parties or, in the absence of an agreement, at a location selected by the Mediator. The parties shall submit mediation summaries and other documents if and when requested by the Mediator.

Parties with full settlement authority and counsel are required to attend mediation, unless excused from attendance by the Mediator. Failure of an attorney or party to appear for a duly scheduled mediation conference or otherwise comply with the mediation, without good cause, may result in imposition of sanctions by this Court, including the striking of any party’s briefs, denial of oral argument or dismissal of the appeal [or claims or defense of the parties].

All mediation sessions shall be confidential.

All deadlines are extended in this case for all parties until 10 days after mediation has concluded with either an impasse or full or partial settlement.

The parties shall share the cost of mediation equally and shall be responsible for payment of the Mediator’s fees and expenses within 30 days of presentation of any statement.

SO ORDERED.
