ORDER CONTINUING STAY

Case No. 4:14-cv-054

On April 22, 2015, the court entered an order staying all discovery pending further order of
the court. On June 26, 2015, the court held a status with the parties by telephone to discuss the
status of the underlying action and whether the stay should be lifted or continued. During the
conference the parties advised that settlement discussions with the railroad's bankruptcy estate had
proven fruitful and that a settlement agreement had been reached contingent upon the final approval
of the bankruptcy plan. Consequently, they requested that the court continue the stay. Accordingly,
the court ORDERS that the discover shall remain stayed pending further order of the court. The
parties shall file a status report by December 1, 2015, updating the court on the status of the
bankruptcy plan. In the interim, any party may file a motion to lift the stay.
Dated this 26th day of June, 2015.
