Background
Louis Vuitton North America, Inc. asked the court for a brief stay, meaning a pause, of deadlines requiring the parties to submit a joint letter and a jointly proposed case-management plan and scheduling order. The request also referred to a deadline for telling the court whether the parties were willing to conduct further proceedings before the assigned magistrate judge. The letter stated that Emmanuel Miamen consented to the request.
The letter explained that Louis Vuitton’s deadline to respond to the complaint was already stayed while the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation considered a motion to transfer and centralize this action with other actions. The panel had scheduled oral argument on that motion for December 4, 2025.
Ruling
The court granted the request. Judge Torres ordered that the deadline for the parties to submit a joint letter and proposed case-management plan be stayed pending the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation’s resolution of the motion to transfer and centralize this action and other actions. The order does not separately state a ruling on the request concerning the parties’ willingness to proceed before the assigned magistrate judge.
