CHURCH v. WACHOVIA SECURITIES, INC. (W.D.N.C. 12-30-2008)

MARTIN REIDINGER, District Judge

THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte.

This matter is currently scheduled for trial during the Court's February 17, 2009 trial term. In light of the Court's Order granting the Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiff's First, Second, Third, and Fourth Claims for Relief, the only claim remaining for trial is the Plaintiff's claim for severance benefits, a claim which is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq. ("ERISA").

Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that on or before January 9, 2009, the parties are to advise the Court whether they need to present evidence on the Plaintiff's ERISA claim or whether such claim can be decided on the record.

In either case, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the full ERISA record is to be filed with the Court on or before February 1, 2009.
