Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BENJAMIN L. HAMMER,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 23-cv-2763-MJS

UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO STAY

This matter is before the Court on a Joint Motion for Stay of Proceedings (ECF No. 35).

This case has been deemed related to another declaratory judgment action, USAA Casualty

Insurance Co. v. Truck Insurance Exchange, et al., No. 24-cv-3237-MJS. The parties represent

that although they attempted to mediate this case in November 2024, they now anticipate being

unable to resolve this matter until the related declaratory judgment action is resolved.

On review, the Court GRANTS the joint motion and STAYS this action in its entirety to

allow the related case to move forward. Given the stay, the Court VACATES the status hearing

that had previously been scheduled for January 16, 2024. Further, per the parties’ agreement, this

Order STAYS any potential assessment of pre-judgment interest as of January 13, 2025. While the

case remains stayed, the parties are ORDERED to file a joint status report no later than ninety

(90) days from the date of this Order, and again every ninety (90) days thereafter.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 14, 2024 MATTHEW J. SHARBAUGH United States Magistrate Judge
