UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARY SWEARINGEN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

AMAZON PRESERVATION PARTNERS, 

INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-04402-WHO 

ORDER EXTENDING STAY AND 

CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 54

On August 11, 2014, the Court entered a stay of this case and set a case management 

conference for January 14, 2015, in light of the FDA’s decision in March, 2014 to reopen the 

comment period for draft guidance on the use of the term “evaporated cane juice,” which is central 

to the claims in this case. Dkt. No. 52. On December 24, 2014, the FDA published a notice 

indicating that it is evaluating the submitted comments and considering appropriate actions. Dkt. 

No. 54, p.7. 

Given the likely relevance of the FDA’s contemplated actions concerning “evaporated 

cane juice,” the parties jointly ask the Court to extend the stay and continue the case management 

conference until April 14, 2015. Their request is GRANTED, and the stay is extended until 

further order of this Court. The further Joint Case Management Conference Statement is due on 

April 7, 2015. The parties are directed to inform the Court within 20 days of any FDA action on 

this issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 8, 2015
