On April 14, 2011 the Parties submitted a Joint Stipulation requesting the Court to

11

extend the May 3, 2011 Case Management Conference to June 21, 2011 [Dkt. 137], which the Court

12

granted on April 15, 2011. [Dkt. 138].

13

3.

Pursuant to a briefing schedule entered by the Court in the Thorogood Case, on

14

February 18, 2010 [Thorogood Dkt. 191], Plaintiff Thorogood and Defendant Sears submitted

15

briefing in the Northern District of Illinois regarding the appropriate scope of the injunction ordered

16

by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Thorogood v. Sears, Roebuck &

17

Co., 624 F.3d 842 (7th Cir. Nov. 2, 2010) (“Thorogood III”). [Thorogood Dkt. 192, 196 & 197].

18

4.

On March 2, 2011, Plaintiff Murray, as Co-Petitioner with Steven Thorogood, filed a

19

Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Thorogood vs. Sears,

20

Roebuck & Co., Supreme Court Case No. 10-1087 (“Petition”) challenging the decision and Opinion

Reply in support of their Petition in the Supreme Court.
8.

On May 17, 2011 Thorogood timely filed his Notice of Appeal in the Northern

9.

On May 27, 2011, Defendant Sears filed its Supplemental Brief in Opposition to the

Petition in the Supreme Court.
10.

Presently, the Parties are awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on two matters:

8

a. Murray’s and Thorogood’s joint Petition for Writ of Certiorari, which was

9

conferenced by the Court on May 12, 2011, but has not yet been decided; and

10

b. the Court’s decision in the related matter of Smith v. Bayer, cert. granted, No. 09-

11

1205, which was argued on January 18, 2011, both which should be decided

12

before the end of the Court’s term this June.

11.

In addition, Thorogood’s appeal of the Northern District of Illinois’ injunction

remains ongoing in the Seventh Circuit.

16

Conference until July 26, 2011, a time following the end of the Supreme Court’s term, plus sufficient

17

time for the Parties to evaluate their positions in light of these upcoming decisions, is warranted.
