Case No. 13-cv-04828-TEH
ORDER LIFTING STAY
LIFEWAY FOODS, INC.,
Defendant.

On May 5, 2014, this Court issued an order staying this action pending final
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California
10
guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on whether “Evaporated
12
Cane Juice” is an appropriate name for an ingredient in certain products from Defendant
13
Lifeway Foods, Inc. Docket No. 44. After carefully considering the parties’ positions on
14
the propriety of maintaining this stay in light of the FDA’s delay in providing final
15
guidance (see Docket No. 54), the Court now lifts the stay.
16
Defendant has requested additional briefing on its motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s First
17
Amended Complaint (Docket No. 24), which the Court previously GRANTED IN PART
18
only as to Defendant’s request to stay this action (see Docket No. 44). Rather than allow
19
additional briefing, the Court orders that Defendant may re-file the motion to dismiss,
20
updated to reflect any developments in the law, on or before February 1, 2016. Should
21
Defendant choose to re-file the motion, the briefing and hearing schedule shall be set
22
according to the Civil Local Rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
