13 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: Defendants' opposed motion to stay all proceedings pending transfer to multidistrict litigation11 is granted. "In deciding whether to grant a stay pending the JPML decision to transfer a case to an MDL, courts consider: (1) whether judicial economy favors a stay; (2) the potential prejudice to the non-moving party; and (3) any hardship or inequity to the moving party if the case is not stayed." Paul v. Aviva Life & Annuity Co., No. 09-cv-01038, 2009 WL 2244766, at *2 (N.D. Ill. July 27, 2009). All three factors favor a stay until such time as the JPML decides Plaintiff's objection to the conditional transfer order, as noted in R. 12. If this case and other similar cases in this District are to be transferred, it is more efficient and less prejudicial to Defendants for the MDL court to decide the issue of remand in all similar cases at once. A stay will not cause undue prejudice to Plaintiff because she can raise the issue of remand once her objection to transfer is decided. Accordingly, Defendants' motion for extension of time to answer or otherwise plead10 is denied as moot. This case is stayed until further order of the Court. The parties are to file a joint report on the status of the conditional transfer order on or before 11/6/23. Mailed notice. (kp, )
