May 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 153 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: SETTING OF LAW DAYS. Defendant has not objected to plaintiff's motion, Doc. # 148 , and the Court accordingly intends to grant it with one modification. Plaintiffs in this action propose that law days be set for June 15, 2020 and June 16, 2020. On May 15, the Chief Administrative Judge for Civil Matters of the Connecticut Judicial Branch issued an order immediately staying law days in the state judicial system until July 7, 2020 owing to the present COVID-19 pandemic . See Connecticut Judicial Branch, Covid-19 Information (last accessed May 28, 2020), https://jud.ct.gov/COVID19.htm [https://perma.cc/7B97-R66G] (collecting orders). It is unclear whether this state administrative order applies to a fe deral court sitting in diversity. See generally Gasperini v. Ctr. for Humanities, Inc., 518 U.S. 415 (1996); cf. Shady Grove Orthopedic Assocs., P.A. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 559 U.S. 393, 420 (2010) (Stevens, J., concurring) ("When a State chooses to use a traditionally procedural vehicle as a means of defining the scope of substantive rights or remedies, federal courts must recognize and respect that choice"). In light of this legal uncertainty, the relatively brief period between the proposed law days and law days that would conform with the state's Judicial Branch order, and considerations of comity, the Court is inclined to set law days for Wednesday, July 8, 2020, and Thursday, July 9, 2020. Plaintiff is orde red to show cause why law days should not be set for these dates not later than June 3, 2020. If plaintiff does not object to these proposed law days, they may file a statement to that effect on lieu of a response to this order. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 5/28/2020. (Webley, A)

Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 2/28/2020. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 2/28/20. This corrects document 142 of which the wrong event was used. (Pesta, J.)

In view of this ruling that allows the case to proceed to trial, the Court GRANTS without prejudice the Church's motion to vacate the receivership order (Doc. # 81 ). It is so ordered.Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 09/30/2018. (Rubin, N.)
