IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
NORTHERN DIVISION
KATHERINE BETH, et al
vs.

PLAINTIFFS
NO. 1:10-cv-00024 JEG-JWC

DOLGENCORP LLC

DEFENDANT

ORDER
The parties have filed a joint motion for stay, or continuance, of all deadlines in these
cases (doc. 47). They state that Defendant intends to file a motion for summary judgment
as to the claim of Plaintiff Melvin Ely, and that a ruling on that motion would be instructive
as to the disposition of all remaining cases.

The Court agrees that the suggested

procedure is likely to avoid unnecessary expense and delay, and grants the motion.
Defendant is to file the motion for summary judgment no later than the close of
business on July 6, 2011. All deadlines previously set are stayed for sixty (60) days
following the Court’s ruling on the motion for summary judgment. After the Court has ruled
on the motion for summary judgment, the parties may move for further adjustment of
deadlines, if necessary, in light of the posture of the case at that time.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of June, 2011.
