UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERT E. FIGY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

LIFEWAY FOODS, INC., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 13-cv-04828-TEH 

ORDER LIFTING STAY 

 

On May 5, 2014, this Court issued an order staying this action pending final 

guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on whether “Evaporated 

Cane Juice” is an appropriate name for an ingredient in certain products from Defendant 

Lifeway Foods, Inc. Docket No. 44. After carefully considering the parties’ positions on 

the propriety of maintaining this stay in light of the FDA’s delay in providing final 

guidance (see Docket No. 54), the Court now lifts the stay. 

Defendant has requested additional briefing on its motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s First 

Amended Complaint (Docket No. 24), which the Court previously GRANTED IN PART 

only as to Defendant’s request to stay this action (see Docket No. 44). Rather than allow 

additional briefing, the Court orders that Defendant may re-file the motion to dismiss, 

updated to reflect any developments in the law, on or before February 1, 2016. Should 

Defendant choose to re-file the motion, the briefing and hearing schedule shall be set 

according to the Civil Local Rules. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
