ORDER
______________________________________________________________________
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Stipulated Motion To
Stay Proceedings [ECF No. 51], filed on December 3, 2012. The parties request the
Court to stay all proceedings and deadlines in this action for 120 days, in order for them
to engage in further settlement negotiations.
After careful consideration, I GRANT the parties’ motion to the extent it seeks a
stay of the proceedings. However, I will only stay proceedings in this action until
Thursday, February 28, 2013. There is a pending motion, Molycorp Minerals, LLC’s
Motion To Dismiss HaloSource, Inc.’s Counterclaims Pursuant To Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(b)(6) [ECF No. 33], that must be disposed of by March 31, 2013, pursuant to the
Court’s internal operating procedures. Thus, the parties request for a 120-day stay is
DENIED. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Stipulated Motion To Stay Proceedings [ECF
No. 51], filed on December 3, 2012, is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
