Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Transfer By the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation #14 is hereby GRANTED. Proceedings in this case are STAYED pending a determination by the JPML as to whether this case should be transferred or consolidated with other pending matters. Defendants shall file with the Court a report as to the status of the JPML proceedings upon any significant event related to this issue, and in any event shall file a status report no later than February 8, 2019. The Clerk of Court is instructed to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this case until this stay is lifted by the Court. Signed by Chief Judge K. Michael Moore on 1/4/2019. (osk)
