Any party who objects to such consolidation shall file a letter brief, not to exceed three single-spaced pages, by June 4, 2024. If no party files a letter opposing consolidation, the Court will consolidate the two cases without further notice to the parties. SO ORDERED. ( Brief due by 6/4/2024.) (Signed by Judge Jessica G. L.

ORDER granting24 Letter Motion to Stay re:24 LETTER MOTION to Stay Discovery Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) and Individual Rule 4(k) addressed to Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke from John N. Orsini dated April 23, 2024. Based on the parties' submission, the Court stays discovery and adjourns the initial pretrial conference previously scheduled for May 2, 2024 sine die. The factors set forth in the parties' letter weigh in favor of a stay. Defendant has moved to dismiss this case, and although Plaintiffs intend to amend the Complaint, it remains possible that this action will be resolved in its entirety at the motion to dismiss stage. Defendant also identifies prejudice and substantial costs it will incur if discovery is not stayed. Plaintiffs, on the other hand, identify no prejudice. Furthermore, there is no reason to believe that the documents Plaintiffs are seeking Defendant produce now will be unavailable later if the case is stayed. For those reasons, the court grants Defendant's requested stay. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 24. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke on 4/24/2024) (jca)
