OPINION & ORDER re: 76 LETTER MOTION for Local Rule 37.2 Conference re Motion to Stay Pending Objections, Dkt 75 addressed to Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang from Duane L. Loft dated November 4, 2019. filed by Sirwan Saber Mustafa. Contra ry to Mustafa's argument, Judge Wang did not change the standard to an impossibility test. The August Opinion finds that the proceedings are in reasonable contemplation because the complaints had already been filed in the DIFC Courts. And Jud ge Wang observed that by the October Opinion one defendant had already been served. The statement in the October Opinion that "Intervenors have not presented any evidence that service in the DIFC litigation is impossible" was to explain o n a motion for reconsideration that "Petitioner's delays in service [were] due to needing to work with various governmental authorities" and were not indicative that the case would not proceed. The Objection to the October Opinion is OVERRULED. The Court of Clerk is respectfully directed to close Docket No. 76. (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 11/18/2019) (cf)
