April 7, 2022 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Defendants' Motion for extension of time to answer #16 is granted.

April 4, 2022 Filing 16 MOTION by Defendants Saul Levmore, Thomas Miles, Michele Richardson, Michael Schill, University Of Chicago, University of Chicago Medical Center, Abbie Willard, David Zarfes for extension of time to file answer or otherwise plead (Wermuth, Anneliese)
March 22, 2022 Filing 15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness:Plaintiff's motion to stay is granted in part and denied in part without prejudice. Although counsel for Defendants have filed appearances, no answer or other response to the complaint has yet been filed. Whether this case should be stayed pending Plaintiff's appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Southern District of New York transferred the case to this District) is a question that will benefit from (and may indeed require) an adversarial proceeding; assuming, of course, that Defendants eventually respond to the complaint. The status hearing set for 3/30/2022 is stricken and reset 5/6/2022 at 09:50 AM; parties shall use the same call-in information #11 . Mailed notice (ef, )
