BAYER CORP, et al.,

ORDER DENYING REQUEST
TO STAY BRIEFING ON
MOTION TO DISMISS

Defendants.

This action was reassigned to the undersigned judge on March 30. The next day,

17

plaintiffs moved to remand and separately moved to stay all other proceedings, including

18

briefing on defendants’ already-pending motion to dismiss until the issue of subject-matter

19

jurisdiction presented in the motion to remand is resolved. The issues in defendants’ motion to

20

dismiss are closely related to their alleged basis for removal, and the Court will benefit from

21

reviewing the briefing on both motions before ruling on either one, if not hearing argument on

22

both simultaneously. Accordingly, plaintiffs’ motion to stay is DENIED. This is without

23

prejudice to a stipulation setting a schedule for full briefing and oral argument on both motions

24

simultaneously.
