ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion For Stay [Docket No. 55; Filed
December 17, 2012] (the “Motion”). Plaintiff filed an Opposition to Motion For Stay on
December 27, 2012 [Docket No. 57]. Defendant filed a Reply in Support of Plaintiff’s
Motion For Stay on January 7, 2013 [Docket No. 58]. This matter is also before the Court
on Defendant’s Notice of U.S. Supreme Court Decision Mooting Plaintiff’s Motion for
Stay [Docket No. 60; Filed March 19, 2013] (the “Notice”). The basis for Plaintiff’s Motion
was a pending United States Supreme Court case, Standard Fire Insurance Co. v.
Knowles, 2013 WL 1104735 (March 19, 2013). Motion at 1. Defendant argues the United
States Supreme Court decision entered March 19, 2013 renders Plaintiff’s Motion [#55]
moot.1 Since Plaintiff’s Motion requested a stay “pending the issuance of the United States
Supreme Court’s opinion in Knowles v. Standard Fire Insurance Company,” and that
decision has issued, the Motion is moot. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay [#55] is DENIED as moot.
Dated: April 5, 2013
