ORDER
Before the Court is the Parties’ Joint Status Report as to ADR Matters (Doc. 23) (“Joint
Status Report”). Previously, the Court granted Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration
(Doc. 14) and stayed this matter pending arbitration. (See Docs. 19, 22). In doing so, the Court
last instructed the Parties to provide the Court with a status report regarding the status of the
arbitration by January 12, 2026. (Doc. 22). The Parties timely filed the instant Joint Status
Report on that date. The Parties now state that they have effectively resolved Plaintiff’s
primary dispute with ADT Solar and the remaining outstanding issue is securing a mutually-
agreeable third-party contractor capable of performing the roof remediation work. In the event
informal settlement negotiations should unexpectedly fail, Plaintiff will initiate arbitration
proceedings with the American Arbitration Association. (Doc. 23 at 1).
Upon review, the Court ACCEPTS the Parties’ Joint Status Report as to ADR Matters
(Doc. 23). The Parties are ORDERED to inform the Court, in writing, of the status of their
settlement proceedings within ninety (90) days of the instant Order, or by no later than
Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Should the Parties decide to initiate formal arbitration proceedings
before that date, they shall inform the Court of that decision, in writing, immediately.
