Re: Nina Owens v. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, et al. , Case No. 1:24-CV-5517-GHW
Dear Judge Woods:
We represent Defendants PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services LLC, PwC US Consulting LLP, PwC USA LLP, and PwC US Group LLP (collectively referred to herein as “PwC”) in the above-referenced matter. We write to request that the Court continue indefinitely the Initial Pretrial Conference scheduled for July 16, 2025. This conference was initially scheduled for July 1, 2025, and has been adjourned once on June 17, 2025, due to a time conflict with Plaintiff Nina Owens’s counsel. ( See ECF 89.) We respectfully move to adjourn this conference, as PwC will file a notice of appeal on or before July 11, 2025.
PwC is appealing this Court’s June 12, 2025, Order denying PwC’s motion to compel arbitration pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 16, which permits interlocutory appeals from the denial of a motion to compel arbitration.
Accordingly, the Court “must stay its proceedings while the interlocutory appeal on arbitrability is ongoing.” Coinbase, Inc. v. Biekski , 599 U.S. 736, 740 (2023). The parties conferred, and Plaintiff’s counsel does not oppose this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Application granted. The initial pretrial conference scheduled for July 16, 2025 is
Kenneth W. Gage of PAUL HASTINGS LLP adjourned sine die in anticipation of Defendant s filing a notice of appeal . The
deadline for the parties to to submit the joint letter and proposed case management plan outlined in the Court ’ s June 13, 2025 order, Dkt. No. 86, is extended sine die . KWG The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at Dkt. No. 90. July 2, 2025
