ORDER LIFTING STAY AND

______________________________________________________________________________
On April 20, 2018, the Court granted the parties’ April 18, 2018 “Joint Motion to Stay”
this case pending the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Epic Sys. Corp. v. Lewis, Nos.
16-285, 16-300, 16-307, 2018 WL 2292444 (U.S. May 21, 2018). (Docket Entry (“D.E.”) 18;
D.E. 15.) The Supreme Court released its opinion in Lewis on May 21, 2018, holding that
“Congress has instructed in the [Federal] Arbitration Act that arbitration agreements providing
for individualized proceedings must be enforced, and neither the Arbitration Act’s saving clause
nor the [National Labor Relations Act] suggests otherwise.”

2018 WL 2292444, at *1.

Accordingly, the stay is LIFTED. Defendants are ORDERED to file responsive pleadings or
motions on or before fourteen days from the date of this order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12; (D.E. 15
at PageID 64).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of May 2018.
