Date Filed Document Text
April 2, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER DENYING without prejudice #10 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss which argued dismissal was warranted because this matter is required to be resolved through arbitration (Doc. 10). Before Plaintiffs' response deadline elapsed, the parties jointly moved to stay this matter pending arbitration (Doc. 14), which the Court granted (Doc. 15). The joint motion to stay alludes to a potential claim by Plaintiffs under Section 155 of the Illinois Insurance Code that would not be subject to arbitration (See Doc. 14). The parties agreed that if that issue cannot be resolved, it could be addressed after the arbitration proceedings, if necessary. At this time, the Court opts to DENY Defendant's motion to dismiss without prejudice in light of the Court's stay and the parties' participation in arbitration (Doc. 10). However, the denial is without prejudice to Defendant to file any appropriate motion to dismiss, if necessary, after the arbitration proceedings. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 4/2/2024. (scm)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
