Case No. 15 C 2605

MEMORANDUM ORDER
This Court has just received, noticed up for presentment tomorrow morning, the parties'
Joint Motion To Stay Proceedings Pending MDL Consideration. This memorandum order is
issued to spare the parties the need to appear on May 7 (based on the assumption that the
electronic docketing of this memorandum order will arrive in time to stave off an in-person
appearance).
Given the MDL's pending consideration of the transfer and consolidation of the
numerous actions posing the same issues as those presented by this lawsuit, this Court of course
grants the joint motion. But because this Court has earlier set a June 29 initial status hearing date
in this action, that date will be retained -- with the understanding, however, that if the MDL has
not acted within that time frame all that this Court will require is a notification of that fact to its
courtroom deputy, so that the June 29 date may be moved forward without any need for inperson attendance.
