ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION AND STAY

RICARDO S. MARTINEZ, Chief District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion Requesting Clarification and Stay of Defendant's Pending Motion. Dkt. #83. Plaintiff requests the Court provide clarification and guidance regarding the duties and obligations of the Guardian ad Litems ("GAL"s) in this case and that the Court stay ruling on Defendants' pending Motion "to allow the GALs to fulfill their obligations and duties." Id. at 1.

On December 6, 2017, this Court appointed five GALs, stating that they "shall investigate and report upon the adequacy of any offered Settlement as related to the five minor surviving children (beneficiaries) of Romeo Head." Dkt. #75. On December 15, 2017, the parties participated in an unsuccessful mediation. See Dkt. #83 at 2.

The Court intended for the GALs to report on settlements, not offers. The Court does not request or permit the GALs to report the details of the unsuccessful mediation. The Court clarifies that the GALs need only report to the Court if a settlement is reached between the parties in this case. Given this, there is no good cause to stay the Court's consideration of other pending motions in this matter.

Having reviewed the relevant briefing and the remainder of the record, the Court hereby finds and ORDERS that Plaintiff's Motion to Stay Defendant's Pending Motion (Dkt. #83) is DENIED as stated above.
