NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
RYAN THOMAS, STEVEN DAVIS,
TIFANIE MOSELEY and REUBEN
VAUGHN,
Plaintiffs,
v.
CASE NO. 1:10-cv-226-SPM-GRJ
PRODUCERS AGRICULTURE
INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
Pending before the Court are: (1) Defendant’s Motion To Dismiss Or, In The
Alternative, Motion To Compel Arbitration And Stay Proceedings (Doc. 10); (2)
Plaintiffs’ Motion For Leave To Amend Their Complaint, Add Additional Party
Defendants, And For Remand Of This Cause To The Circuit Court In And For Alachua
County, Florida (Doc. 20); (3) Plaintiffs’ Motion For Leave To Amend Their Complaint,
Withdraw Their Request To Add David Spaulding And Spaulding Insurance Agency,
Inc. As Party Defendants And Withdraw Their Request To This Court To Remand This
Matter To The Circuit Court In And For Alachua County, Florida (Doc. 34); and (4)
Plaintiffs’ First Motion To Compel. (Doc. 41.)
Because Plaintiffs have filed a second motion for leave to amend in which they
advise that they have withdrawn their request to add additional defendants, Plaintiffs’
first motion for leave to amend (Doc. 20) would appear to be moot. With regard to the
discovery disputes raised in Plaintiffs’ motion to compel, the most expeditious method
for addressing these issues is at a hearing. However, Defendant’s motion to compel

arbitration and stay proceedings raise threshold issues, which if successful, would
render the request for leave to file an amended complaint and the discovery issues
moot.
The Court, therefore, determines that a hearing is necessary to address all of the
issues raised in the pending motions. Accordingly, a hearing is scheduled before
Magistrate Judge Gary R. Jones on Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 10:30 a.m. at the
United States Courthouse, 401 S.E. First Avenue, Third Floor Courtroom, Gainesville,
Florida 32601. The Court has reserved one and a half hours for the hearing.
DONE AND ORDERED this 21st day of June, 2011.
