(ECF Nos. 1977, 1983, 1987, 2009)
JANIS L. SAMMARTINO, District Judge.
Pending before the Court in this class action alleging conspiracy to fix prices of packaged seafood are four motions related to the claims against Defendant Bumble Bee Foods LLC ("Bumble Bee"): (1) Motion to Exclude Testimony of Dennis W. Carlton (ECF No. 1987); (2) Affiliated Foods and Winn-Dixie Plaintiffs' Motion to File Documents Under Seal (ECF No. 1983); (3) Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment Against Bumble Bee on Liability (ECF No. 2009); and (4) Direct Action Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion to File Documents Under Seal (ECF No. 1977) (together, the "Bumble Bee Motions").
On November 21, 2019, Bumble Bee filed for bankruptcy protection. See In re: Bumble Bee Parent, Inc. et al., Case No. 19-12502-LSS (Bankr. D. Del.). Proceedings against Bumble Bee in this Court are stayed pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362. Plaintiffs do not intend at this time to move for relief from stay to prosecute their claims against Bumble Bee in this Court. (Pls' Joint Status Report Re: Bumble Bee Bankr. 2, ECF No. 2278.)
Accordingly, the Bumble Bee Motions are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to renewing them, if necessary and appropriate, upon the lifting or expiration of the automatic bankruptcy stay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
