ORDER EXTENDING STAY AND
CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE

On August 11, 2014, the Court entered a stay of this case and set a case management

13

conference for January 14, 2015, in light of the FDA’s decision in March, 2014 to reopen the

14

comment period for draft guidance on the use of the term “evaporated cane juice,” which is central

15

to the claims in this case. Dkt. No. 52. On December 24, 2014, the FDA published a notice

16

indicating that it is evaluating the submitted comments and considering appropriate actions. Dkt.

17

No. 54, p.7.

18

Given the likely relevance of the FDA’s contemplated actions concerning “evaporated

19

cane juice,” the parties jointly ask the Court to extend the stay and continue the case management

20

conference until April 14, 2015. Their request is GRANTED, and the stay is extended until

21

further order of this Court. The further Joint Case Management Conference Statement is due on

22

April 7, 2015. The parties are directed to inform the Court within 20 days of any FDA action on

IT IS SO ORDERED.
