ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART JOINT REQUEST TO STAY DISCOVERY AND MOTION BRIEFING DATES
The parties request that the discovery completion date (May 15, 2008) and briefing schedule for the motions for summary judgment be stayed pending the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision in ERISA case Glenn v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, 2008 WL 161473 (2008). Because the parties have already moved so far along with discovery, the discovery completion date of May 15, 2008, shall stand. The request to stay discovery is therefore DENIED. It is possible, however, that Glenn decision could influence the motions for summary judgment. The request to continue all motion briefing dates pending the Glenn decision is GRANTED. The parties shall notify the Court of the Glenn decision within ten (10) days of its entry. The briefing deadlines for the motions for summary judgment are continued until ninety (90) days following the Glenn decision (and not the notice of the decision).
