Discussion regarding Defendant’s MOTION for Stay of Formal Discovery [Doc. No. 16, filed
5/2/2013]. Discussion regarding Plaintiff’s opposition.
Discussion regarding whether discovery should be pursued or stayed until after the filing of an
Amended Complaint. Plaintiff advises the court that an Amended Complaint will not be filed
until after the EEOC claims are resolved. Discussion regarding when or if OnPoint should be
added as a party in the case.
ORDERED:

Defendant’s MOTION for Stay of Formal Discovery [Doc. No. 16, filed
5/2/2013] is DENIED as the motion does not establish good cause.

The court suggests Plaintiff should draft an Amended Complaint, consult with Defense counsel,
and file an Unopposed Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint. At that point, Plaintiff could
serve on the new party listed in the Amended Complaint and the court could set a Scheduling
Conference. Defense counsel states it will represent OnPoint.

The court advises the parties that once the Amended Complaint is filed, the court will issue an
Order setting a Scheduling Conference 30 days out, and that a Proposed Scheduling Order shall
be filed 7 days prior to the hearing.
