In its response to the order to show cause, Plaintiff relies in part on the fact that it has sought a stay
of this case. See Docket No. 32 at 3-4. The filing of a motion to stay has no legal effect on whether a case
must proceed; a case is only stayed if the Court issues an order so directing. See, e.g., Willemijn
Houdstermaatschappij BV v. Apollo Computer Inc., 707 F. Supp. 1429, 1441 (D. Del. 1989).
