Brandt Industries USA Ltd. told U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm that although he's already paused former employee Joseph Sherman's biometric privacy lawsuit once, he should stay the case again as questions surrounding the applicability of the state's workers' compensation exclusivity provision and the proper statute of limitations continue to make their way through the Illinois appellate and supreme courts.
