** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** The parties have submitted a joint proposal, Dkt. 6, asking for the court to set a briefing schedule on an anticipated motion to remand and otherwise stay the case deadlines. This is not the court's usual tack, but the procedural posture of this case is unique enough that the court finds the needs of the case warrant this unique approach. The parties' proposal is ADOPTED, and the following deadline are SET: Plaintiff's motion to remand due January 29, 2026; defendants' response due 21 days after the motion is filed, and any reply due 10 after the response is filed. Because the balance of the interests, including judicial efficiency, weigh in favor of it, the case is otherwise STAYED. In light of all of this, the January 16 telephonic status conference is CANCELLED. The court will reset the conference, if necessary, depending on the outcome of the motion to remand. Signed by Magistrate Judge Anita Marie Boor on 1/16/2026. (voc) (Entered: 01/16/2026)
