The motion to stay was sustained to preserve judicial and party resources pending a decision by the United States Supreme Court in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, 141 S. Ct. 193 (Mem), 2020 WL 3865252 (2020). The Court’s Decision stayed all proceedings including two pending motions: Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, Doc. #25, and a Motion to Dismiss filed by Third-Party Defendant, Informa Media, Inc., Doc. #26.

The case remains stayed and this Court’s Decision and Entry, Doc. #35, remains in effect.
