DEFENDANTS

ORDER
This cause is before the Court on the plaintiffs Perdue
Properties, LLC; Badeaux Holdings, LLC; Diamond P Enterprises,
Inc.; Rhett Steven Guerin; and Point Nebo, LLC’s motion to stay
proceedings (docket entry 109).
The plaintiffs’ motion seeks a temporary stay of proceedings
on grounds that the plaintiffs and defendants “have been working
toward a global settlement of all claims other than those asserted
against the USA.”

All defendants have now filed responses stating

that they have no opposition to the temporary stay.

The United

States (including the United States Forest Service, an agency
within the United States Department of Agriculture), has responded
“that it has no objection to the Court staying the proceedings.

The

United

States,

however,

does

not

waive

and

specifically

reserves its right to subsequently challenge any assignment of
rights.”
The Court therefore finds that the motion to stay shall be
granted.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the plaintiffs Perdue Properties,
LLC; Badeaux Holdings, LLC; Diamond P Enterprises, Inc.; Rhett
Steven Guerin; and Point Nebo, LLC’s motion to stay proceedings
(docket entry 109) is GRANTED.
The parties shall periodically inform the Court of their
progress.
SO ORDERED, this the 3rd day of August, 2016.

/s/ David Bramlette
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
