ORDER ENJOINING RESPONDENTS STAYING CASE, REQUIRING PETITIONER TO FILE STATUS REPORT AT CONCLUSION OF ARBITRATION, AND CLOSING CASE FOR FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES

PAMELA PEPPER, District Judge.

The court has resolved all pending motions. It has granted the petitioner's petition to compel arbitration and stay litigation and enjoined any litigation in Mexico arising from the parties' dispute. Dkt. No. 81. It has awarded sanctions against BHP Energy Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. for evading service. Dkt. No. 86. All that remains is for the court stay the litigation before it, and close the case for administrative purposes while the parties submit their dispute to arbitration.

The arbitrator and the parties can find the relevant orders on the docket, beginning with Magistrate Judge Joseph's order granting the petitioner's petition to compel arbitration and stay litigation with respect to BHB Energy LLC. Dkt. No. 39. Judge Joseph did not separately lay out the terms of the injunction requested in the petition to compel arbitration and stay litigation; this court lays out those terms below.

As noted above, this court granted the petitioner's motion for entry of default judgment against BHP Energy Mexico, and enjoined BHP Energy Mexico from pursuing relief against the petitioner in any litigation or court proceeding in Mexico arising out of or relating to the parties' distributorship relationship. Dkt. No. 81. At the same time, the court ordered the petitioner and BHP Energy Mexico to proceed with arbitration in the manner provided for in the arbitration agreements. Id. Finally, the court awarded sanctions in favor of the petitioner and against BHP Energy Mexico in the amount of $106,119.47. Dkt. No. 86.

Consistent with Judge Joseph's order granting the petition to stay against BHB Energy LLC and this court's ruling on BHP Energy Mexico, the court ENJOINS BHB Energy LLC and BHP Energy Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. from pursuing any relief against petitioner Cree, Inc. in any litigation or court proceeding in Mexico arising out of or relating to the parties' distributorship agreement. The court ORDERS that for either respondent to pursue relief in litigation or proceedings in courts in Mexico violates the parties' agreement to arbitrate, and would cause immediate harm to the petitioner.

The court ORDERS that the proceedings in this court are STAYED while the parties submit their dispute to arbitration.

The court ORDERS the petitioner to provide the court with a status report within fourteen days of the conclusion of the arbitration.

The court ORDERS the clerk of courts to administratively close this case.
