ORDER
JAMES M. MOODY, JR., District Judge.
On December 19, 2019, Chief Judge D. Price Marshall entered an order granting the defendant's motion to dismiss in Moffitt, et al. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, Case No. 1:19CV0072. On January 6, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. The Moffitt case is substantially similar to eight other cases in this district. If affirmed, the dismissal of Moffitt would be dispositive of each of these cases.
To maximize the Court's resources, the Court finds that this and the eight other related cases should be stayed and administratively terminated pending the mandate of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Moffitt v. State Farm.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to administratively terminate the action without prejudice to the rights of the parties to reopen the proceedings for the entry of any stipulation, order, or other purpose required to obtain a final determination of the litigation. However, if the parties fail to file a motion to reopen the case within the 60-day period after final disposition of the appeal in Moffitt, this Order will be deemed a dismissal with prejudice of all claims.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
