Defendants.

ORDER ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING CASE
On August 7, 2015, the Wayne County Defendants filed a Notice indicating that
Plaintiff Renee Newell (“Plaintiff”) filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan [Docket No. 86]. On August 10, Plaintiff filed a Notice indicating that
Michael Stevenson, the Trustee in Bankruptcy for the Estate of Renee Newell,
“intends to pursue this litigation just as did Renee Newell, and is not going to abandon
this litigation” [Docket No. 87]. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1) and 11 U.S.C. §
323(b), the Chapter 7 Trustee has the exclusive right to prosecute or abandon this suit.
Presently, however, the Court has no notice from the Trustee regarding his decision
to abandon or continue this case.

Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned case is ADMINISTRATIVELY
CLOSED pursuant to the bankruptcy stay, pending a motion or notice by the Trustee.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
