ORDER
The Court previously entered an Order staying the proceedings in this action until the United
States Supreme Court issued an opinion in three consolidated cases with issues related to the issues
in this case. The Supreme Court has decided those cases. The plaintiff has filed a motion to lift the
stay. The defendants have responded by stating that the stay has terminated automatically by virtue
of the Supreme Court’s decisions. The parties agree that the stay should no longer be in effect.
Therefore, the motion to lift the stay is GRANTED. Document #56.
The Court directs that the defendants file their motion to dismiss within thirty days from the
entry of this Order. The plaintiff’s response will be due fourteen days after the defendants file their
motion. The defendants’ reply, if any, will be due seven days after the plaintiff files her response.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of August, 2011.

J. LEON HOLMES
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
