November 6, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER DENYING #15 Motion to Stay. The Defendants moved to stay this case pending resolution of a motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, seeking establishment of an MDL proceeding (Doc. 15). The undersigned District Judge generally does not stay pretrial proceedings pending MDL transfer. See Rule 2.1(d) of the Federal Rules of Procedure of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (providing that the pendency of a motion before the Panel "does not affect or suspend orders and pretrial proceedings in any pending federal district court action and does not limit the pretrial jurisdiction of that court.") Given that this case is still in the very early stages, the undersigned concludes that there is little chance of the Court or the parties fruitlessly expending resources while waiting for the Panel to issue its decision. Thus a stay is unwarranted at this time. The Court will closely monitor any Orders (conditional or final) issued by the Panel. Signed by Judge Nancy J. Rosenstengel on 11/6/15. (ceg, )THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
