COURTROOM MINUTES/MINUTE ORDER
HEARING: TELEPHONIC STATUS CONFERENCE
Court in session:
1:39 p.m.
Court calls case. Appearances of counsel.
The court addresses the parties regarding Defendants’ Joint Motion to Stay [Doc. No. 33].
Discussion between the court and counsel regarding what discovery would be pursued, why
Defendants believe all discovery should be stayed in the case, and the issue of qualified immunity.
For the reasons stated on the record, it is
ORDERED:
Defendants’ Joint Motion to Stay [Doc. No. 33, filed 9/23/2013] is DENIED.
The court will allow discovery to go forward as to any individual or entity that
has not and cannot assert qualified immunity. Discovery directed to the
individual Defendants and their depositions shall be STAYED.
The court notes it may revisit the question of the stay of discovery if it endures beyond a reasonable
time frame and advises the parties it is not absolving counsels’ certification requirement under Rule
26(g) nor their obligation to approach discovery in a thoughtful and precise manner.
Further discussion regarding the discovery that will go forward. Counsel for Defendant Office of the
District Attorney for the Eighteenth Judicial District clarifies with Plaintiff’s counsel that no discovery
will be pursued towards them as an entity claiming qualified immunity.
HEARING CONCLUDED.
