UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CORYLN DUNCAN and BRUCE 

DUNCAN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

THE ALIERA COMPANIES, INC., et al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:20-CV-00867-TLN-KJN 

ORDER 

Plaintiffs Corlyn Duncan and Bruce Duncan (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant OneShare 

Health, LLC (“OneShare”) have filed a motion to lift the stay imposed by the Court’s September 

10, 2021, order. (ECF No. 8.) The Court’s order provided that “[t]he case may be reopened at 

the request of the parties.” (Id. at 5.) Plaintiffs’ motion requests that the Court lift the stay as to 

their claims against Defendant OneShare Health, LLC (“OneShare”), advising the Court that they 

and OneShare have reached a settlement. As Plaintiffs explain, OneShare is the only defendant in 

this case that is not in bankruptcy. OneShare does not oppose Plaintiffs’ motion. 

The Court has read and considered the motion and concludes that it is an appropriate

forward, and lifting the stay as to Plaintiffs’ claims against OneShare will further the orderly 

course of justice by simplifying the remaining issues in the case. 

Therefore, Plaintiffs’ Motion to Lift the Stay is GRANTED. The stay in this action is 

LIFTED as to Plaintiffs and OneShare, and the clerk is directed to ADMINISTRATIVELY 

REOPEN the case as to Plaintiffs and OneShare. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
