Filing 57

ORDER dismissing 37 Motion for Summary Judgment. Signed by Michael P. Mills on March 20, 2009. (rmw, USDC)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI DELTA DIVISION LEE HAUFF GRAVES vs. PURDUE PHARMA LTD., PURDUE PHARMA, INC., THE PURDUE FREDERICK COMPANY, INC., and PURDUE PHARMA L.P. PLAINTIFF NO.: 2:07cv107-MPM-SAA

DEFENDANTS

ORDER On August 19, 2008, defendant filed a motion for summary judgment [37-1] in the above entitled action. On March 13, 2009, however, defendant noticed the deposition of Dr. Jonathan Lipman, and the Magistrate Judge extended the discovery deadline in this case until March 27, 2009. The court does not intend to rule upon any summary judgment motion until discovery has been completed, and it will therefore administratively dismiss defendant's motion for summary judgment without prejudice to re-filing once all relevant discovery is completed. It is therefore ordered that defendant's motion for summary judgment is dismissed without prejudice. So ordered, this the 20th day of March, 2009. /s/ Michael P. Mills CHIEF JUDGE U.S. DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
