ORDER

This matter is before the court upon the joint motion of the parties to stay this case and
continue all discovery deadlines, pending finalization of the parties’ settlement agreement. The
court, having considered the motion and the posture of this case, finds that the motion is well taken
and therefore should be GRANTED, in part.
Specifically, the parties request “that the Court enter a stay of this case for 120 days
pending Plaintiff’s [filing of a stipulation of] dismissal [and a corresponding continuation of all
deadlines]. If Plaintiff has not filed dismissal papers within 120 days from the stay being granted,
the parties request the opportunity to file a joint status report regarding the status of the settlement.”
Doc. #35.
This case was transferred to this court following remand by the MDL in October of 2019.
The trial in this case was recently rescheduled and is presently set to take place on June 20, 2022.
Accordingly, for good cause shown, the undersigned will stay this case for a period of 120 days,
and, correspondingly, continue the case management deadlines in this case by a period of 150 days,
as some deadlines have recently passed and others are swiftly approaching.1
Therefore, the case management deadlines in the action are hereby extended as follows:

1

The case management deadlines will be reset by further order of the court.

automatically. In the event that the parties are not able to finalize the settlement within 120 days,

to discuss the status of this matter and to revisit any scheduling concerns, as needed.
