Case No. 1:21-cv-01063-JLT-SAB
ORDER VACATING DECEMBER 4, 2024
HEARING; HOLDING DEFENDANT’S
MOTION TO EXCLUDE PLAINTIFFS FROM
USING EXPERT TESTIMONY IN
ABEYANCE
(ECF No. 77)

16
On October 30, 2024, Defendant filed a motion to exclude plaintiffs from using expert

17
18

testimony. (ECF No. 77.) The hearing is currently set for December 4, 2024. (ECF No. 78.)

19

Prior to filing the discovery motion, Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration of this

20

Court’s order granting Plaintiff’s motion to substitute class representatives (ECF No. 71) and a

21

motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and improper venue (ECF No. 72). Both motions are

22

currently pending before the district judge. The hearing before the district judge for both

23

motions is set for December 11, 2024. (ECF No. 82.)

24

Due to the potentially dispositive nature of Defendant’s pending motions before the

25

district judge, the Court shall, in the interest of judicial economy, vacate the December 4, 2024

26

hearing and hold Defendant’s discovery motion in abeyance until the pending merits-based

27

motions are adjudicated.
