Procedural posture
The court entered an order staying the three listed cases pending an appeal of an earlier decision in related litigation.
Order
The parties must jointly notify the court by letter within seven days after the appeal is decided, dismissed, or otherwise terminated. The court also denied the defendant’s pending motion for an extension of time in Case No. 23-cv-08298 as moot and directed the clerk to remove that motion from the court’s list of open motions.
Effect
The order pauses the three cases while the appeal remains unresolved. It does not decide the underlying dispute. The opinion’s scanned text appears to say “DENTED” rather than “DENIED” when describing the extension motion; the surrounding language indicates that “denied as moot” was intended.
