of Defendant Brown’s pending motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 67; see also ECF Nos.

50 (Defendant Brown’s motion to dismiss) & 66 (Defendant Melton’s answer).) To

date, Plaintiff has not filed a response to the ex parte application or otherwise

informed the Court that he has any objection to the relief presently sought by the

25

resolution of Defendant Brown’s pending motion to dismiss (ECF No. 50). This

stay shall be automatically lifted upon the Court’s resolution of Defendant Brown’s

27

motion to dismiss without the need for further notice from the Court.
