February 3, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 45 ORDER granting #44 Motion to Stay. The parties have informed the Court that they have reached a tentative resolution in this matter and that Plaintiff anticipates filing a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice in the coming weeks.

Specifically, the pending Petition to Vacate Arbitration Award [Doc. #1 ] Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award [Doc. #21 ], and Motion to Stay Enforcement of the Court's Sealing Order [Doc. #37 ] are hereby STAYED.
