Date Filed Document Text
October 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER granting #25 joint Motion to stay, as follows. This case is STAYED, and for the duration of the stay, it shall remain ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. Administrative closings are a familiar way in which courts remove cases from their active files without final adjudication. Administrative closure is a docket control device used by the Court for statistical purposes, and it does not prejudice the rights of the parties in any manner. Notwithstanding the stay and closure, the parties shall file status reports, as proposed in their Motion, and the Court will lift the stay and reopen the case, as and when appropriate, based on the parties' (final) status report.
