ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Unopposed Motion To Compel Arbitration
And Stay Proceedings (Doc. #6) filed October 20, 2025. Plaintiff had until November 10, 2025,
to respond to defendant’s motion. See D. Kan. Rule 6.1(d)(1). Plaintiff did not file a response,
and defendant’s motion is therefore unopposed. 	A party who fails to file a responsive brief or
memorandum within the specified time waives the right to later do so, and the Court will consider
and decide the motion as uncontested. D. Kan. Rule 7.1(c). Ordinarily, the Court will grant the
motion without further notice. 	Id. 	For this reason and substantially the reasons stated in
defendant’s Memorandum In Support Of Defendant’s Unopposed Motion To Compel Arbitration
And Stay Proceedings (Doc. #7) filed October 20, 2025, the Court sustains defendant’s motion.
In lieu of a stay, the Court will direct the Clerk to administratively terminate this action pending
the conclusion of arbitration proceedings.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Unopposed Motion To Compel
Arbitration And Stay Proceedings (Doc. #6) filed October 20, 2025 is SUSTAINED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk administratively terminate this action
without prejudice to the rights of the parties to reopen the proceedings for good cause shown,

for the entry of any stipulation or order, or for any other purpose required to obtain a final
