ORDER REQUIRING FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RESPOND TO
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION (ECF #21)
On February 2, 2017, Plaintiff Arabian Motors Group W.L.L. filed a Motion
for Reconsideration of the Court's Opinion and Order Denying Plaintiff's Motion
for

a

Preliminary

Injunction

Staying

Arbitration

(the

“Motion

for

Reconsideration”). (ECF #21.) IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Ford
Motor Company shall respond to the Motion for Reconsideration by not later than
February 17, 2017.
On pages 8-9 of the Motion for Reconsideration (Pg. ID 683-84), Plaintiff
cites and applies two canons of statutory construction (the “Canons”). In Ford’s
response, Ford shall address (1) whether Plaintiff has previously cited and/or
presented arguments based upon the Canons, (2) if Plaintiff has not done so,
whether Plaintiff’s arguments concerning the Canons are properly presented to the

1

Court in the Motion for Reconsideration, and (3) assuming that Plaintiff’s
arguments concerning the Canons are properly before the Court, whether the
correct application of the Canons requires the Court to reach a different result on
the underlying motion for preliminary injunction. Ford may also address any other
arguments raised in the Motion for Reconsideration.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
