Specifically, this case is hereby stayed through the duration of the stay and injunction of all activity against the court-appointed receiver or Residential Finance Corporation set forth in paragraph 9 of the Order Appointing Receiver in the Receivership Case ("Receivership Stay").
This Court therefore DIRECTS the Clerk to terminate the pending motion to dismiss (ECF No. 28) and motion for judgment on the pleadings (ECF No. 43) (collectively, "Motions") and ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSES this case. This case and the Motions will be reactivated with the lifting of the stay. The parties must notify this Court within fourteen days of the date on which the Receivership Stay is lifted or the Receivership Case has concluded.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
