Five days later, the case was stayed [Doc. No. 150] pending an interlocutory appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on the issue of qualified immunity. The Eighth Circuit affirmed [Doc. No. 154], but the case was again stayed pending a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States [Doc. No. 158]. On October 20, 2010, the Supreme Court denied defendants' petition for a writ of certiorari [Doc. No. 161], and the case was returned to the active docket of this court on PLAINTIFFS CASE NO. 3:07-CV-00119 BSM (Lead Case) DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFFS CASE NO. 3:07-CV-00189 (Consolidated Case) DEFENDANTS November 4, 2010. Up to this point the plaintiffs have not yet responded to defendants' motions in limine [Doc. No. 141]. Because the case was stayed only five days after the defendants filed their motions, the time for the plaintiffs to respond has not yet expired. Considering that this case Dockets.Justia.com has been stayed for twenty-one months, it is proper that the plaintiffs should have a full fourteen days to respond. As such, plaintiffs are directed to respond to defendants' motions in limine [Doc. No. 141] within fourteen days of the filing of this order. IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of November, 2010. ________________________________ UNITED STATED DISTRICT JUDGE 2
