ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO SUBMIT SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFS
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, District Judge.
On January 25, 2019, Defendant Robert H. Healy filed a motion to dismiss the claims brought against him by Defendant Ledura Watkins. (See Mot. to Dismiss, ECF #34.) The motion is currently set for a hearing on July 22, 2019.
On June 20, 2019, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in McDonough v. Smith, Supreme Court Case No. 18-485. In McDonough, the Supreme Court held that "[t]he statute of limitations for [a] § 1983 claim alleging that [the plaintiff] was prosecuted using fabricated evidence [begins] to run when the criminal proceedings against him terminated in his favor." This holding appears to be relevant to at least some of the arguments raised in the pending motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the parties to address the relevancy and application, if any, of the McDonough decision in a supplemental brief that is not to exceed five pages. The parties shall file these supplemental briefs by no later than July 3, 2019.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
