UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
ADRIAN HARRIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 13-cv-440-JPG-DGW

COOPER B-LINE, INC., MACHINISTS NO. 9
and WAYNE HENZE,
Defendants.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the summary judgment motion filed by defendant
District 9 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ (“Machinists
No. 9”) (Doc. 25) seeking judgment on Count I of the Amended Complaint. Count I is a claim
under the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. and was dismissed on January 6,
2014, for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. This dismissal renders the pending motion
for summary judgment (Doc. 25) MOOT. The Court further notes that dismissal of Count I
terminated Machinists No. 9 as a party to this case in light of the fact that they were only named as
a defendant in Count I. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to terminate Machinists No. 9 as
a party to this case.
Additionally, the Court notes that all claims against defendant Cooper B-Line, Inc.
(“Cooper”) were dismissed from this case on July 22, 2013. Thus, it is no longer a party to this
case, and the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to terminate Cooper as well.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
