August 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 9 **VACATED** ELECTRONIC ORDER denying #5 Motion to Expedite; deferring ruling on #5 Motion to Remand; deferring ruling on #5 Motion for Attorney Fees. The timing of removal presents an irreconcilable conflict with a trial date set in state court. However, given the circumstances, expedited consideration would deprive Defendants of any opportunity to respond to the Motion to Remand, and would further deprive the Court of full and adequate briefing. Plaintiff's arguments may be considered in the context of Plaintiff's request for attorney's fees, but do not necessitate expedited consideration. Signed by Magistrate Judge Joseph H L Perez-Montes on 8/9/2019. (jud,Perez-Montes, Joseph) Modified on 8/9/2019 (Roaix, G) to place vacated in front of entry. See order, doc. no. 10 .
