on the purported failure of Plaintiff’s cause of action. (Doc. 7-1). Plaintiff has responded to

Electrolux’s motions. (Docs. 26, 28). Electrolux has replied to Plaintiff’s responses. (Docs. 34, 35).

The Court held a hearing on the matter on April 5, 2007. (Doc. 44). For the reasons stated in the

Memorandum Opinion of even date, Electrolux’s Motions to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim

Upon Which Relief May Be Granted and for Summary Judgment should be and hereby are

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 10th day of August, 2007.
