Even when failing to elicit a complete settlement, early mediation aids the action by focusing the litigation to core disputes before the parties expend substantial time, energy, and resources conducting protracted discovery. The motion (Doc. #15) is GRANTED-IN-PART. No later than DECEMBER 6, 2023, the parties must mediate. Signed by Judge Steven D. Merryday on 7/25/2023. (WBW)
