            The Court has determined that the above-referenced case should be referred to
      mediation. A copy of this Court’s order referring case to mediation is enclosed.


             The appeal will be stayed during the mediation period. If a party has good cause
      for objecting to mediation, the party shall file a motion with the Court within seven days
      (7) days of the order referring the case to mediation setting forth the grounds for
      objection. Notwithstanding the filing of a motion objecting to mediation, the parties
      should proceed with coordination of the mediation during the time the Court considers
      the motion.


                                                Very truly yours,
