ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court pursuant to the Court’s January 25, 2017, Show Cause
Order (Doc. No. 57), in which the Court ordered any party that opposes the transfer of this case to
the Northern District of Georgia (N.D.Ga) to show cause why transfer would not be in the interest
of justice or for the convenience of the parties. Plaintiffs filed a Response (Doc. No. 58) to the
Show Cause Order informing the Court that on February 6, 2017, the bankruptcy court in the
N.D.Ga authorized and directed the bankruptcy Trustee to hold a public auction for the sale of
Sensiotec, Inc.’s Assets and other property. Plaintiffs oppose the transfer of this action pending
the outcome of the bankruptcy auction and sale, scheduled to take place on March 15, 2017. For
the reasons stated in Plaintiffs’ Response, the Court will wait to decide whether to transfer this
action to the N.D.Ga until after the bankruptcy auction and sale.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall inform the Court of the identity of the
purchaser of Sensiotec’s Assets within three (3) days following the conclusion of the sale process.
Signed: February 9, 2017IT

IS SO ORDERED.
