`
`Case No. 1:20-cv-393
`Hon. Liam O'Grady
`
`ORDER
`
`Before the Court is Reynoids's "partial motion to stay further proceedings on the claim of
`
`Philip Morris Products S.A. Seeking Injunctive Relief." See Dkt. 649. The Court will GRANT
`
`Reynoids's motion IN PART. Judge Cheney's initial ITC determination, subject to final
`
`approval and appeal, undercuts the irreparable harm undergirding PMP's claim for injunctive
`
`relief. A final ITC determination will also likely be rendered before the trial in this matter
`
`commences. Still, the Court must guard against the needless waste of Party resources that have
`
`already been expended on PMP's claim for injunctive relief. In service of this interest, the Court
`
`will enter a partial stay of further proceedings on PMP's injunctive relief claim that allows only
`
`fact discovery relating to the instant claim to proceed through its conclusion. All other
`
`proceedings (e.g., expert discovery that his not yet been authorized, see Dkt. 666, at 5 n. 1) will
`
`be held in abeyance.
`
`It is SO ORDERED.
