ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION (ECF No. 5)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On April 6, 2022, Plaintiff TE Connectively Corporation filed a motion for preliminary injunction in this action in which TE asks the Court to enjoin an arbitration demanded by Defendant Lear Corporation. (See Mot., ECF No. 5.) The Court held an on-the-record status conference with counsel for both parties to discuss a schedule for the motion on April 7, 2022. For the reasons explained during the status conference, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
• Lear shall file a response to TE's motion for preliminary injunction by no later than April 28, 2022;
• TE shall file a reply brief by no later than May 12, 2022;
• The parties shall continue with their ongoing process to select an arbitrator for the arbitration Lear has demanded. TE's participation in that process is
without prejudice to TE's objection to its participation in the arbitration proceedings. If an arbitrator is selected, the parties shall ask the American Arbitration Association and/or the selected arbitrator to delay any further arbitration proceedings until the Court resolves TE's motion for preliminary injunction, which the Court will do without delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
