Defendant claims that it is a Michigan corporation, with its principal place of business in Michigan, and it is not otherwise essentially at home in Delaware. In response, Plaintiffs requested the opportunity to perform limited discovery on the subject of personal jurisdiction in wake of the Supreme Court decision which Defendant relies on, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court of California , decided on June 19, 2017. In light of these circumstances, the *2 Court will grant Plaintiff time for additional discovery regarding the issue of personal jurisdiction. Any supplement to this Motion is due within sixty (60) days.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
