[Filing No. 47.] The parties are ORDERED to file a Joint Report by April 19, 2019 setting forth the status of Matthews' petitions, whether the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") has issued decisions and, if so, how those decisions affect this litigation.

| Oct 3, 2018 | 47 | ORDER ON JOINT MOTION TO STAY AND PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS TO STRIKE: Plaintiff Vandor Corporation and Defendant Matthews International Corporation jointly move to stay this litigation pending the outcome of Matthews' petitions for inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,375,535 and 9,649,240. The Court grants the motion [Filing No. 46 ] and stays the proceedings in the above captioned matter only. This order has no effect on Vandor Corp. v. Matthews Int'l Corp., 1:15-cv-00838-RLY-TAB (S.D. Ind. May 28, 2015). Also pending are Vandor's two motions to strike. The Court denies as moot Vandor's first motion to strike portions of Matthews' answer [Filing No. 35 ] because Matthews filed an amended answer. The Court similarly denies as moot Vandor's motion to strike portions of Matthews' amended answer due to the joint motion to stay. [Filing No. 42 .] Vandor may seek leave to refile the motion, if necessary, following the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker on 10/3/2018.

| May 11, 2018 | 27 | ENTRY - Presently pending before the Court is a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claims in this action. [Filing No. 19 .] In response, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, [Filing No. 24 ], as it was entitled to do pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B). Plaintiff's Amended Complaint now controls this litigation and supersedes the pleading on which Defendant's motions to dismiss are based. See Chasensky v. Walker, 740 F.3d 1088, 1094 (7th Cir. 2014) ("When a plaintiff files an amended complaint, the new complaint supersedes all previous complaints and controls the case from that point forward... [b]ecause a plaintiff's new complaint wipes away prior pleadings....") (citations omitted). Accordingly, the pending motion to dismiss is DENIED AS MOOT. 19 Defendant must answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint as contemplated by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 5/11/2018. (APD) (Entered: 05/11/2018) (1) |
