Because Tyson only sought partial summary judgment on the issue of noise
2
and flies, not on dust and odors, the Court reinstates Tyson as a Defendant in this
3
case.
4
Currently pending is a Motion for Summary Judgment by Simplot Feeders.
5
ECF No. 141. Pursuant to the Third Amended Scheduling Order, a Jury Trial is
6
currently scheduled for December 5, 2022, in Spokane. The Court is vacating the
7
trial pending the disposition of the pending motion(s) for summary judgment.
8
Because the remaining claims against Tyson overlap the claims against Simplot,
9
the Court will allow Tyson to file a motion for summary judgment within the next
10
8 days.
11
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS SO ORDERED.
