Defendant Gary Material Supply, Inc. filed its response to the motion, and the case has been stayed as to defendant IB&B, Inc., d/b/a Illiana Block & Brick, Inc., based on that company s filing of bankruptcy. Based on a review of the summary judgment record, the court concludes that a material question of fact exists as to the effective date of IB&B s withdrawal from the union, which precludes resolution of the appropriateness of the withdrawal liability assessment and the issue of the common ownership of the defendant companies. Accordingly, the court DENIES the Trust Fund s motion for summary judgment [docket # 38]. This case remains set for a two-day bench trial commencing at 9:30 a.m. (C.D.T.) on Thursday, April 17, 2014, in Hammond. SO ORDERED. ENTERED: March 12, 2014 /s/ Robert L. Miller, Jr. Judge, United States District Court 2
