ORDER

Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment in this case (filing 100). Upon reviewing the record, it appears to the court that proceedings may be underway in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska which may affect this court's jurisdiction. In Defendants' brief in support of their motion for summary judgment, Defendants state that on July 31, 2009, the Douglas County District Court entered a temporary order releasing Plaintiff James Fisher (`Fisher") from complying with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 83-174.03. (Filing 102). Because the question of whether Neb. Rev. Stat. § 83-174.03 is applicable to Fisher is generally at issue in this litigation, the court requires further information concerning the status and nature of the state court proceeding. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall have until December 17, 2009, to provide the court with information regarding the status of State of Nebraska v. Fisher, Doc. 103, Page 037 (District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska). Specifically, the court requests evidence, by affidavit or otherwise, generally explaining why a temporary order was entered in the state case relieving Fisher from complying with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 83-174.03. December 7, 2009. BY THE COURT: Richard G. Kopf United States District Judge
