ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Consent Motion to Stay [# 153].
Plaintiffs ask the Court to stay this case in light of the bankruptcy of Bestwall LLC
f/k/a/ Georgia-Pacific LLC. Plaintiffs cite 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1) and the Court’s
discretion as authority. In addition to Bestwall’s bankruptcy, Plaintiffs offer the
interests of judicial efficiency and economy as reasons to stay. Plaintiffs have not,
however, provided sufficient reason to stay this case. After consulting with the
District Court, the Court will deny the motion.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES the motion [# 153].
