ORDER
Before the Court is the Parties’ third Joint Status Report (Doc. 25), filed on April 14,
2026. Previously, on July 7, 2025, the Court granted Defendant’s Motion to Compel
Arbitration (Doc. 14) and stayed this matter pending arbitration. (Doc. 19). Since that time,
the Court has instructed the Parties to provide the Court with status reports regarding the
status of the arbitration and their efforts to informally resolve the case every ninety days.
(Docs. 22 & 24). The Parties have timely complied with each of the Court’s orders. (See Docs.
21, 23, & 25).
In the instant Status Report, the Parties reiterate that Plaintiff’s primary dispute with
Defendant ADT Solar has been resolved, and the remaining outstanding issue is securing a
mutually-agreeable third-party contractor to perform the roof remediation work. The Parties
again state that should informal settlement negotiations fail, Plaintiff will initiate arbitration
proceedings with the American Arbitration Association.
Upon review, the Court ACCEPTS the Parties’ latest Joint Status Report (Doc. 25).
The Parties are again ORDERED to inform the Court, in writing, of the status of their
settlement proceedings within ninety (90) days of the entry of this Order, or by no later
than Wednesday, July 15, 2026. Should the Parties decide to initiate formal arbitration
proceedings before that date, they shall inform the Court of that decision, in writing,
immediately.
