MEMO ENDORSEMENT: on re: #42 Letter filed by Phillip Andrew Blankenship, Lindsey Luketic, Donald Drennan Williams, Jr., Charles Anderson. ENDORSEMENT: The Court believes that the current scope of discovery should be sufficient to establish whether or not Plaintiff has standing with respect to all of the causes of action at issue in this case. If, after jurisdictional discovery has proceeded, material produced in discovery indicates that this is not the case, the parties may request additional discovery at that time. With respect to Defendants' proposed limits on discovery, the Court directs the parties to meet an confer and provide a joint letter on such limits by August 1, 2023. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 7/25/2023) (ama)

Filing 39
ORDER terminating #28 Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction. By October 13, 2023, the parties may conduct limited discovery into the following issues: 1)the contents of any information belonging to Plaintiff that Defendants may have taken or retained after Defendants' employment with Plaintiff (or any of its subsidiaries) ceased; 2) the identity of any clients or potential clients of Plaintiff that Defendant may have taken or solicited after Defendants' employment with Plaintiff (or any of its subsidiaries) ceased; and 3) Defendants' current business activities. To the extent Plaintiff believes it requires information relevant to any other issue in order to contest Defendants motion to dismiss, Plaintiff may request an expansion of these discovery parameters. The parties shall file a status letter by September 13, 2023 informing the Court of the status of discovery. Because this discovery will likely alter the parties' briefing on the issue of standing to a significant degree, the Court denies the currently pending motion without prejudice. Defendants may refile their motion at the close of jurisdictional discovery. The Court will set a new briefing schedule for that motion upon receipt of the parties' September 13, 2023 status letter. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion pending at Docket Number 28. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 7/13/2023) (jca)

ORDER granting #32 Letter Motion to Stay re: #32 LETTER MOTION to Stay re: #28 MOTION to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (Standing) or, in the Alternative, to Compel Arbitration or Stay Pending Arbitration. addressed to Judge John P. Cronan from Defendants dated 2/6/23. Finally, having reviewed the papers submitted by the parties thus far in connection with Defendants' motion to dismiss or to stay arbitration, and without prejudging that motion, the Court determines that the motion is sufficiently strong to counsel in favor of staying discovery. Weighing all four factors together, the Court grants Defendants' motion to stay discovery pending the resolution of their motion to dismiss for lack of standing or, in the alternative, to compel arbitration and stay this action pending arbitration. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion pending at Docket Number 32. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 2/27/2023) (jca)
