ORDER

On May 13, 2005, intervening plaintiff Merlin Petroleum Co. (“Merlin”) filed a motion to

dismiss its claim in intervention without prejudice. (Doc. 17). On May 18, 2005, Merlin filed a motion

to stay ruling on its motion to dismiss “until such time as Plaintiff files a similar motion.” (Doc. 18). That

is, Merlin filed its motion to dismiss prematurely and now asks the Court to leave the motion pending

until some indefinite future time. The Court is disinclined to do so. The motion to stay is denied. The

motion to dismiss is denied, without prejudice to Merlin’s ability to file a similar motion when

appropriate. 

 DONE and ORDERED this 18th day of May, 2005.
