IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 12-cv-03218-RM-MJW
WILLIAM BAZAREWSKI and

Plaintiff(s),
v.
THE VAIL CORPORATION d/b/a VAIL RESORTS MANAGEMENT COMPANY,
Defendant(s).
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Stay the Case Pending the
Court’s Ruling on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (docket no. 43) is DENIED. Staying
discovery pending the outcome of motions determining preliminary matters raises
issues “of pretrial management and judicial efficiency that fall within the court’s
discretion.” Stone v. Gonzales, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43885, *2 (D. Colo. June 18,
2006) (citing Greeley Pub. Co. v. Hergert, 233 F.R.D. 607, 612 (D. Colo. 2006). After
taking into consideration the current posture of this case, the court finds that the interest
of justice requires that this case go forward with discovery. Defendant assumes in the
subject motion (docket no. 43) that Judge Moore will grant Defendant’s Motion to
Dismiss (docket no. 18), but this court does not act on assumptions
