order Order Mon 02/28 1:07 PM
TEXT ORDER Entered by Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long on 2/28/22. The Court has reviewed the parties Joint Status Report10 and the arguments presented therein. The Court grants Defendants request to continue the stay in this case pending the conclusion of the interlocutory appeals in Cothron v. White Castle Sys., Inc., Watson v. Legacy Healthcare Fin. Servs., LLC, and Tims v. Black Horse Carriers, Inc. The Court finds that denying the stay would cause Defendant undue prejudice due to the time and expense it will incur in litigating Plaintiffs claims, which many prove unnecessary in light of the current appeals. See Treadwell v. Power Solutions Intl, Inc., N.D. Ill. 18-8212 #120, April 1, 2020. This case remains stayed until further order. The Court directs the parties to provide a status report within 14 days of the rulings on the appeals in the referenced cases. (SKR)
