MEMORANDUM ORDER

By Order of the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit dated July 24, 1997, the parties were ordered to attend mediation before me. To insure that the parties could participate in mediation in good faith and effectively, I issued an order, dated August 4, 1997, to the United States Marshal to cease and desist from any efforts to serve and enforce Execution(s) For Possession and Order to Vacate, dated May 29, 1997, on two properties located at Bay Road and Meyer Lane, Hamilton, Massachusetts. That order was to remain in effect pending the order of this Court.
I have concluded that further efforts at mediation are unlikely to be productive and have returned the case to the court of Appeals.

Accordingly, the cease and desist order I issued to the United States Marshal on August 4, 1997, is vacated, effective at 5:00 p.m., January 5, 1998.

So Ordered.

MEMORANDUM ORDER

Entered: December 29, 1997

By Order of the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit dated July 24, 1997, the parties were ordered to attend mediation before me. To insure that the parties could participate in mediation in good faith and effectively, I issued an order, dated August 4, 1997, to the United States Marshal to cease and desist from any efforts to serve and enforce Execution(s) For Possession and Order to Vacate, dated May 29, 1997, on two properties located at Bay Road and Meyer Lane, Hamilton, Massachusetts. That order was to remain in effect pending the order of this Court.
After due consideration of this course of mediation over the past several months, I have concluded that further efforts to resolve this case at this time are unlikely to be productive. This case is returned to the Court of Appeals.

By the Court:
