Akins-Brakefield v. Philip Environmental Services Corporation

Filing 34

ORDER DENYING 28 Motion to Stay. Signed by Chief Judge David R Herndon on 01/27/2009. (seg)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS STAVENA AKINS-BRAKEFIELD, Plaintiff, v. PHILP ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CORPORATION, Defendant. HERNDON, Chief Judge: ORDER Case No. 08-cv-710-DRH

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion to Stay (Doc. 28), to which Defendant has filed an opposing Response (Doc. 30). Plaintiff seeks a stay pending a ruling on her Rule 60(b) Motion in Case No. 08-438 (the "First Case"). Plaintiff seeks to reopen and reinstate the First Case, which she feels is essentially the same case as the instant matter and also seeks to consolidate both cases. However, from the Status Report (Doc. 29), filed by Plaintiff, it appears that Plaintiff's Rule 60(b) Motion and her Motion to Consolidate were denied in the First Case. Thus, there is no longer a need for a stay in this matter. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion to Stay (Doc. 28) is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed this 27th day of January, 2009. /s/ DavidRHer|do|
