Opinion
Civil Action No. 11-cv-03144-WYD-CBS
12-04-2012
MOLYCORP MINERALS, LLC, Plaintiff / Counter Defendant, v. HALOSOURCE, INC., Defendant / Counter Claimant.
Chief Judge Wiley Y. Daniel
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties' Joint Stipulated Motion To Stay Proceedings [ECF No. 51], filed on December 3, 2012. The parties request the Court to stay all proceedings and deadlines in this action for 120 days, in order for them to engage in further settlement negotiations.
After careful consideration, I GRANT the parties' motion to the extent it seeks a stay of the proceedings. However, I will only stay proceedings in this action until Thursday, February 28, 2013. There is a pending motion, Molycorp Minerals, LLC's Motion To Dismiss HaloSource, Inc.'s Counterclaims Pursuant To Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) [ECF No. 33], that must be disposed of by March 31, 2013, pursuant to the Court's internal operating procedures. Thus, the parties request for a 120-day stay is DENIED. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the parties' Joint Stipulated Motion To Stay Proceedings [ECF No. 51], filed on December 3, 2012, is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The motion is GRANTED to the extent that it seeks a stay of all proceedings and deadlines in this matter, and I ORDER all proceedings and deadlines in this action STAYED until Thursday, February 28, 2013. The motion is DENIED to the extent that it seeks a 120-day stay of all proceedings and deadlines in this action. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a Joint Status Report on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, updating the Court on the progress of settlement negotiations.
BY THE COURT:
