January 5, 2021 Filing 12 MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM by Defendant Pret A Manger (USA) Limited (Bailey, Katherine)
December 21, 2020 Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: By agreement of the parties, defendant's motion to dismiss is due 1/5/21. Plaintiff's response is due 1/26/21, and defendant's reply 2/2/21. Discovery is stayed while the motion is under advisement. The court will issue a ruling via cm/ecf. Notices mailed. (psm, )
December 14, 2020 Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Defendant's motion to stay #9 is denied and briefing the motion is not necessary. The court is not persuaded that the pending Illinois Appellate Court decision will necessarily resolve the statute of limitations argument, because its "controlling" value depends on its persuasiveness as a prediction of the Illinois Supreme Court's evaluation of state law. The persuasiveness of the Illinois Appellate Court decision is unknown. This court appreciates that the court in Vaughan v. Biomat USA, Inc., No. 1:20 CV 04241, 2020 WL 6262359, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 23, 2020), reached a different assessment of the stay factors. But the delay in waiting for an intermediate appellate court decision of unknown persuasiveness does more harm to plaintiff's interests than the speculative efficiencies raised by defendant. This court is likely to stay discovery while a motion to dismiss is pending (although it will expect defendant to take appropriate steps to preserve relevant data) and the attorneys on both sides are likely well prepared to brief the forthcoming motion to dismiss. This court would benefit from briefing the statute of limitations issue while the Illinois Appellate Court considers the issue. Briefing the forthcoming motion does not impose an unfair burden or cost on the parties here. Notices mailed. (psm, )
