3. The DEFENDANT has made good faith efforts to initiate direct contact with the PLAINTIFF in order to expedite this case, all such efforts without prejudice to the PLAINTIFF, in an attempt to resolve the disputes arising out of the mortgage foreclosure, but the DEFENDANT has not received a satisfactory response from PLAINTIFF or no response at all.
4. DEFENDANT further represents to both this Court and opposing counsel that the DEFENDANT is willing to engage in mediation to address the mortgage foreclosure action and resolve it on grounds which will be acceptable by PLAINTIFF and DEFENDANT which include, but may not be limited to the following:
5. The DEFENDANT believes that mediation will resolve the PLAINTIFF’S claims, the DEFENDANT’S defenses and further eliminate this case as a pending case on the Court Docket from a standpoint of further motion practice or hearings.
6.
