NESTLE PREPARED FOODS COMPANY DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The joint motion to stay deadlines pending resolution of settlement discussions is

GRANTED. Document #13. The existing deadlines are hereby stayed, including the deadlines for

the defendants to respond to the plaintiff’s motion to certify class, the parties’ Rule 26 conference,

and the submission of a joint preliminary planning report. This stay will be in effect through

September 9, 2016, to permit the parties to attempt to resolve this case. Should the parties be unable

to settle this matter by September 9, the parties must either (a) file a status report and request an

extension of the stay if settlement is feasible but will take more time, or (b) inform the Court that

further negotiations would not be productive. In the latter event, the parties must file their Rule

plaintiff’s motion to certify class within twenty-one days after the stay is lifted.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of August, 2016.
