Opinion

Case No. 4:04CV1775 RWS.

December 21, 2005

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

RODNEY SIPPEL, District Judge

In light of the suggestion of bankruptcy filed by Jonathan Schatz and the stay of this action which would otherwise result, the Court concludes that the case should be administratively closed until such time as the bankruptcy proceedings have been concluded or Court action is otherwise required. Any motion seeking reopening of the case shall state:

(a) the facts and procedural history, including any significant occurrences in the bankruptcy proceedings;

(b) the issues remaining for determination by this Court;

(c) the potential for settlement, and the status of any settlement discussions;

(d) whether a Rule 16 scheduling conference is requested;

(e) the status of discovery;

(f) whether significant pretrial motion practice, including the filing of potentially dispositive motions, is anticipated;

(g) the date by which it is reasonably likely that the case would be ready to proceed to trial; and

(h) the estimated length of trial. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall administratively CLOSE this action, subject to reopening on a motion filed in compliance with this order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any pending motions are denied without prejudice to be refiled in the event the case is reopened.
