Defendants.

ORDER
Because this case has been repeatedly stayed due to plaintiff’s
medical condition, see e.g., doc. 40, the Court ordered the parties to
provide additional information supporting their request for a continued
stay. Having reviewed the submissions from the parties, it appears that
they are in agreement that a dismissal without prejudice along with a
tolling agreement is the best method for—at least temporarily—
disposing of this case. Doc. 41, 42. Accordingly, counsel for the parties
shall confer to prepare the appropriate documentation—including any
necessary stipulated dismissal.

If the parties determine that such a

structure is no longer in their interest, they must certify to the Court in
writing that they have been unable to temporarily resolve this case and
instead wish to proceed.

In addition to this certification, the parties

should prepare an amended Rule 26(f) Conference report and lay out
deadlines for all remaining necessary discovery and motions practice.
The parties shall have thirty days from the date of this Order to either
file a stipulated dismissal or the Rule 26(f) Conference report.
SO ORDERED, this 5th day of February, 2020.
