December 21, 2023 Filing 18 EO: On 12/19/2023, Magistrate Judge Barry M. Kurren held a status conference on all Maui wildfire cases, including this one. See Eder v. Maui Electric Company, Limited et al., CV 23-00459-JAO-BMK, ECF No. 78. Judge Kurren set a consolidated briefing schedule to address jurisdictional issues and pending motions to remand. See id. Because Plaintiffs' counsel in this action appeared at that status conference and did not object to that briefing schedule, see id., ECF No. 78-1, the Court will hold Plaintiffs' #13 Motion to Remand in abeyance. The Court notes that the issues raised in Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand largely mirror the issues raised in the motion to remand filed in Sheikhan v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. et al., CV 23-00460-JAO-BMK, in some instances verbatim As to any additional issues, the parties may address those within the briefing parameters set by Judge Kurren.
