November 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 27 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER STAYING MOTION TO DISMISS AND ORDERING PARTIES TO MEET AND CONFER RE: ARBITRATION by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: Given that all parties who have appeared have argued that the claims are subject to arbitration, it appears to the Court that the parties should be able to agree on proceeding in arbitration. The Court therefore STAYS Defendant Roman Melikov's Renewed Motion to Dismiss #20 and ORDERS all parties to meet and confer in good faith in an attempt to agree on arbitrating this action in its entirety. The parties must (1) meet and confer by 12/4/2020, and (2) file a Joint Report by 12/11/2020, along with an appropriate Stipulation and Proposed Order to effectuate any agreement. To avoid unnecessarily burdening the Court with docketing mailed filings, the Court URGES Mr. Melikov to resume filing electronically, as he has been granted permission to do so and has attested to having access to all of the technical requirements necessary to electronically file successfully.
