ORDER

KELLOGG COMPANY

This matter is before the Court on defendant Kellogg Company’s
motion for summary judgment (Doc. 19), plaintiff Patricia George’s
response thereto (Doc. 25; 28), and Defendant’s reply (Doc. 29). The
Court heard oral argument on Wednesday, October 26, 2016. David G.
Torchia represented Plaintiff. Lawrence J. Murphy represented Defendant.
Court reporter Luke Lavin recorded the proceedings.
Having reviewed the written filings and heard from the parties,
the Court concludes for the reasons stated more fully on the record that
genuine disputes of material fact preclude the entry of summary judgment
in this matter.
Therefore, the Court being sufficiently advised,
IT IS ORDERED that:
(1)

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 19) be, and
is hereby, DENIED;

(2)

The parties are directed to promptly contact Magistrate Judge
Stephanie K. Bowman to schedule a settlement conference to
occur within thirty (30) days of entry of this Order;

(3)

The parties shall file a joint status report within ten (10)
days of said settlement conference, advising the Court of the

status of settlement negotiations and whether the Court needs
to schedule a jury trial.
This 26th day of October, 2016.
