Opinion
Case No. 10-15072
08-16-2012
OPERATING ENGINEERS' LOCAL 324 FRINGE BENEFIT FUNDS, Plaintiff, v. DEMREX INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER HOLDING IN ABEYANCE AND SUSPENDING BRIEFING ON
DEFENDANTS' "MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM ORDER . . . ," AND
SETTING TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE
On August 10, 2012, Defendants Demrex Industrial Services, Inc., Altchem Environmental Services, Inc., Barry Portnoy, and Marc Bailey filed a "Motion for Relief from Order . . . ," which the court construes as a motion for reconsideration under Eastern District of Michigan Local Rule 7.1(h). Defendants state that they are unable to comply with a provision of the court's "Order Directing Defendants to Provide Accounting Information," which requires them to produce, in a compressed zip file or compact disk, the accounting databases of Demrex and Altchem. During an August 15, 2012 off-the-record telephonic conference, counsel for the parties, at the suggestion of the court, agreed to work toward a practical solution to produce the accounting information. The court said it would hold the motion in abeyance and suspend the briefing schedule while the parties worked cooperatively toward a resolution. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendants' "Motion for Relief from Order . . ." [Dkt. # 69] is HELD IN ABEYANCE and briefing on the motion is SUSPENDED pending further court order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel for the parties are DIRECTED to participate in a telephonic conference on August 21, 2012, at 2:30 p.m. The court will initiate the call.
