ORDER
J. RANDAL HALL, District Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion to reinstate case to active docket. (Doc. no. 34.) Defendants object. (Doc. no. 35.) For the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff's motion is GRANTED.
On May 2, 2014, Plaintiff filed suit alleging race discrimination regarding the termination of his employment. On October 7, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion to stay pending arbitration. (Doc. no. 33.) On December 1, 2014, Plaintiff filed the instant motion to reinstate case to active docket arguing that Defendants intentionally and unreasonably delayed arbitration. (Doc. no. 34.) Specifically, the arbitrator granted Defendants four extensions to pay appropriate fees then closed the case due to Defendants' failure to pay. Defendants then attempted to comply. Plaintiff then withdrew consent to arbitrate and sought relief in this Court. (Id.) Defendants now argue that their delay was due to administrative errors and that reinstating the case to the active docket is inappropriate. (Doc. no. 35.)
In light of the parties' apparent inability to make meaningful progress in arbitration proceedings, the stay of this matter pending arbitration is LIFTED.
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to reinstate case to active docket (doc. no. 34) is hereby GRANTED. The Court's Order staying this matter (doc. no. 33) is VACATED.
ORDER ENTERED.
