   Text Order ~Util - Terminate Motions

   TEXT ORDER: On September 10, 2026, Defendants/Counterclaim Plaintiffs Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., Lehigh Gas Wholesale LLC, and LGP Realty Holdings LP (collectively, "Lehigh") filed a Motion for Sanctions under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. (Docket Entry No. 179 .) In its motion, Lehigh claims that Plaintiffs' counsel knew that Plaintiffs/Counterclaim Defendants Universal Property Services, Inc. and Syed Kazmi's (collectively, "Plaintiffs") PMPA claim lacked a factual basis yet persisted in prosecuting this action, unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 1927. (Docket Entry No. 179 -1 at 1.) Notably, Lehigh's motion is dependent on the District Court's decision, granting in part Lehigh's motion for summary judgment and dismissing Plaintiffs' PMPA claim with prejudice, and all associated findings thereto. (Docket Entry Nos. 165 , 166 ). On September 23, 2026, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the Third Circuit regarding the Stipulation and Order for Entry of Final Judgment entered in this action on August 27, 2026 (Docket Entry No. 178 ), including the District Court's Opinion (Docket Entry No. 165 ) and Order and Judgment (Docket Entry No. 166 ) entered on January 15, 2026. (Docket Entry No. 182 .) Accordingly, as the underlying basis of Lehigh's Motion for Sanctions is inherently implicated in the pending appeal, the Court finds good cause to administratively terminate Lehigh's motion and stay all briefing deadlines. Venen v. Sweet, 758 F.2d 117, 120 (3d Cir. 1985) ("As a general rule, the timely filing of a notice of appeal is an event of jurisdictional significance, immediately conferring jurisdiction on a Court of Appeals and divesting a district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal."). Once the appeal is adjudicated, the Court will reinstate Lehigh's motion to the Court's active docket and reset all briefing deadlines. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Tonianne J. Bongiovanni on 10/05/2026. (jem)
