ORDER
This cause is before the Court on Defendants’ Motion to Stay Defendants’
Compliance with Magistrate’s November 22, 2016 Order Pending Review by District
Court (Doc. 104), filed November 30, 2016.
On August 19, 2016, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly issued an omnibus
Order: (1) granting several of Plaintiff’s requests to compel discovery; and (2) denying
Defendants’ motion for a protective order and confidentiality agreement. (Doc. 78.)
Defendants

subsequently

moved

for

reconsideration.

(Doc. 83 (“Motion

for

Reconsideration”).) On November 22, 2016, Magistrate Judge Kelly issued an Order
partially granting the Motion for Reconsideration and directing Defendants to respond to
Plaintiff’s discovery requests by specified deadlines. (Doc. 103 (“Reconsideration
Order”).)
Still dissatisfied, Defendants represent that they intend to file objections to the
Reconsideration Order on or before December 6, 2016. (See Doc. 104.) As such,

Defendants move to stay their obligation to comply with the Reconsideration Order until
the Undersigned has resolved their objections thereto (“Motion to Stay”). (Id.)
Upon consideration, the Court finds that the Motion to Stay is due to be granted.
Defendants are relieved of their obligation to comply with the Reconsideration Order
pending the Court’s resolution of their forthcoming objections.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants’ Motion to
Stay Defendants’ Compliance with Magistrate’s November 22, 2016 Order Pending
Review by District Court (Doc. 104) is GRANTED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on December 6, 2016.
