ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT sua sponte regarding the status of this case
and scheduling concerns. The parties have consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(c), and immediate review is appropriate.
The undersigned observes that a duplicate action, Courtney v. IKEA Holding U.S. et al,
1:16-CV-1215-WO-JEP, is still pending in the Middle District Of North Carolina, which is the
reason this Court stayed this action. See (Document Nos. 14 and 18). In fact, the case in the
Middle District of North Carolina has a ripe motion to dismiss pending that could be ruled on at
any time. See (Document No. 17-1).
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that a trial of this matter, if necessary, will be held
during or after the undersigned’s civil term beginning October 30, 2017.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a Status Report in this action
within ten (10) days of a ruling by the Middle District on the pending motion to dismiss. Such
Status Report should include the parties’ proposal for amended deadlines in this action.

SO ORDERED.
