ORDER
On October 16, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge Jane M. Virden, with the consent of
the parties, issued an order directing the parties to attend a mediation. Doc. #941. The order
provides that “all deadlines pending pursuant to the current Case Management Order are suspended
and held in abeyance until the Court convenes a status conference following receipt of the
mediation report referenced in paragraph 2. If any claims remain, the Court shall enter a new Case
Management Order resetting applicable deadlines.” Id. at 2.
Because the upcoming mediation may resolve all claims in this case, the motion for
summary judgment filed by Meritor, Inc., The Boeing Company, and Rockwell Automation, Inc.,
[925] is DENIED without prejudice. Should the mediation fail to resolve all claims, the Court
will reinstate the motion for summary judgment, including all briefing and submissions, without
further action from the parties.
SO ORDERED, this 19th day of October, 2020.
/s/Debra M. Brown
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
