CASE NO.: 4:15-CV-00306-ERW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Meridith Liable’s Motion for Class
Certification [ECF No. 3].
On February 17, 2015, Plaintiff initiated this lawsuit by filing her “Class Action
Complaint” in this Court [ECF No. 1]. The next day, Plaintiff filed her pending Motion for Class
Certification [ECF No. 3]. In March 2015, after filing its Motion to Dismiss, Defendant filed a
“Motion to Stay Class Certification” [ECF No. 10]. Therein, Defendant noted the filing of its
Motion to Dismiss, and asked the Court to “stay Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification
pending the Court’s ruling on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss” [ECF No. 10 at 1]. In granting
the Motion to Stay, this Court stated, “Briefing deadlines of pending Motion to Certify Class []
are held in abeyance pending further Orders of this Court” [ECF No. 12]. Subsequently, on
August 12, the Court denied Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 21].
With the Court having ruled on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, Defendant’s initial
reasoning for staying the briefing for the Motion for Class Certification is no longer applicable.

Therefore, the parties are ordered to file, within seven (7) days, a response to this Order on the
issue of whether the stay should be extended further.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that both parties shall file, within seven (7) days, a
Response to this Order on the issue of whether the stay of the briefing deadlines for Plaintiff’s
Motion for Class Certification [ECF No. 3] should be extended further.
Dated this 28th Day of August, 2015.
