UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION DAEMON LOVE et al., Plaintiffs, Case No. 13-cv-14946 Hon. Matthew F. Leitman v. JACOB J. LEW et al., Defendants. _________________________________/ ORDER ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING CASE On December 4, 2013, Plaintiffs Daemon Love (“Love”) and Gary and Beth Marshall (the “Marshalls”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed this foreclosure action against Jacob J. Lew (“Lew”), Shaun Donovan (“Donovan”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), and Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corporation (“TBW”). (See Compl., ECF #1; First Am. Compl., ECF #6.) Among other things, the Marshalls allege that TBW engaged in fraud related to their request for a mortgage modification, and they seek both damages and equitable relief. (See First Am. Compl. at ¶¶ 59-67.) The Court has previously dismissed all of the claims Plaintiffs brought against all of the Defendants except for TBW. (See ECF ## 37 (granting Wells Fargo’s motion to dismiss), 46 (granting Lew and Donovan’s motion tom 1    dismiss).) Thus, the only remaining claims in this action the Marshalls’ claims against TBW. On September 29, 2014, the parties stipulated to a stay of proceedings with respect to the Marshalls’ claims against TBW. (See ECF #34.) The parties stipulated to the stay because TBW was the subject of bankruptcy proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 3:09-bk-07047-JAF, and the Marshalls’ claims against TBW were subject to an injunction and automatic stay entered by the that court. (See id.) The Court entered a stipulated order extending the stay on April 8, 2015. (See ECF #48.) The Court held a telephonic status conference with counsel for the parties on May 2, 2016, to discuss the current status of TBW’s bankruptcy proceedings. The Court was informed during that call that the Marshalls’ claims against TBW remain subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s injunction and automatic stay. Accordingly, the Court directs the Clerk of the Court to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this action until further Order of this Court. IT IS SO ORDERED.             s/Matthew F. Leitman MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Dated: May 3, 2016 2    I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or counsel of record on May 3, 2016, by electronic means and/or ordinary mail. s/Holly A.
