`SCHWARTZ’S MOTION TO STAY CASE PENDING DECISION ON MOTION
`TO DISMISS OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO TRANSFER VENUE
`
`NOW COME Defendants Clearview AI, Inc. (“Clearview”), Hoan Ton-That, and Richard
`
`Schwartz (collective, the “Clearview Defendants”), by and through their counsel, and move to stay
`
`the above-captioned matters pending the Court’s decision on the Clearview Defendants’
`
`concurrently-filed Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, or in the Alternative, to
`
`Transfer Venue. In support of this Motion to Stay, the Clearview Defendants state as follows:

`
`
`
`Case: 1:20-cv-00512 Document #: 47 Filed: 04/27/20 Page 2 of 4 PageID #:380
`
`1.
`
`On April 8, 2020, almost three months into the Mutnick, litigation, Mutnick filed a
`
`motion for preliminary injunction. See No. 20-cv-512, ECF No. 31.
`
`2.
`
`Before resolving the issues associated with Mutnick’s motion for preliminary
`
`injunction, or any other substantive matter in the Hall and Mutnick matters, the Court should
`
`consider and rule on the threshold question of personal jurisdiction, presented in the Clearview
`
`Defendants’ concurrently filed motion to dismiss or to transfer.
`
`3.
`
`Given Mutnick’s delay in filing for a preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs will not be
`
`prejudiced by a stay of this case while the parties brief, and the Court resolves, the issue of whether
`
`the Clearview Defendants are subject to jurisdiction in this venue and whether these matters should
`
`be transferred to the Southern District of New York, where there is jurisdiction over all of the
`
`Clearview Defendants.
`
` WHEREFORE, for these reasons and those in the accompanying Memorandum of Law,
`
`the Clearview Defendants respectfully request that the Court enter an order staying the above-
`
`captioned matters pending the Court’s decision on the Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal
`
`Jurisdiction, or in the Alternative, to Transfer Venue.
