ORDER
Given the silence of the parties since receiving an extension of time
to complete discovery over a year ago (doc. 15), the Court ordered the
parties to show cause why the case should not be dismissed on
abandonment grounds. Doc. 17. The parties have finally updated the
Court that defendant filed for bankruptcy in June 2018, and explained
that they believed the automatic stay imposed by those ongoing
bankruptcy proceedings applied to this case. Defendant Alvie Kight’s
bankruptcy proceeding in the Southern District of Georgia, Case No. 1860237, automatically stays the case. See 11 U.S.C. § 362. The parties
therefore are ORDERED to file a joint status report informing the Court
of the anticipated resolution of those bankruptcy proceedings within 180

days of service of this Order, and if no resolution is forthcoming, to
continue updating the Court every 180 days until one is reached.
SO ORDERED, this 18th

p ,
day of April, 2019.
