`Re: Jane Does v. Scalia, Civil Action No. 3:20-1260
`
`Dear Judge Mannion:
`
`I write in regard to the above-captioned case on behalf of the government Defendants. This letter
`is to inform you that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has concluded
`its investigation of Maid-Rite Specialty Foods, LLC (Maid-Rite), and will not be issuing a
`citation, meaning, that in its sound discretion, OSHA will not be instituting an enforcement
`proceeding pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act against Maid-Rite as a result of
`its investigation.
`
`OSHA has informed the complainants of its findings and their right to request informal review
`by letter dated December 2, 2020, a copy of which is attached hereto. OSHA has also sent Maid-
`Rite a hazard alert letter, encouraging the company to use best practices with regard to social
`distancing on its meat processing lines. A copy of that letter is attached as well.
`
`Should the Court desire briefing on any impact of these developments on the pending motion to
`dismiss, Defendants would welcome the opportunity to submit a proposed briefing schedule.
`
`Sincerely,
`
`/s/ Oscar L. Hampton III
