Filing 52
PAPERLESS ORDER GRANTING IN PART #44 Plaintiffs' Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending a Ruling on Plaintiffs' Motion For Remand, or in the Alternative, for an Extension of Time to Respond to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. This Court notes Defendants' opposition but finds that an expedited ruling is necessary because the relief sought in the Motion will be moot before Defendants' deadline to respond to the same. While this Court does not have the benefit of a response from Defendants, it has undertaken a review of the record and, finding that good cause has been demonstrated because the requested extension would serve judicial economy and is measured to prevent the waste of resources, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion is GRANTED IN PART. Briefing on Defendants' #42 Joint Motion to Dismiss is hereby STAYED pending ruling on Plaintiffs' #21 Motion for Remand. New briefing deadlines pertaining to the Joint Motion to Dismiss will be issued by separate order. No other deadlines are affected by this Order. Signed by Judge Melissa Damian on 7/24/2025. (bzy)
