Civ il Action No. 5:06-CV -72 (HL)

ORDE R
B efore the Court is Plaintiff Frank Elton Snyder, Jr.'s ("Snyder") Emergency M otion to Stay Proceedings (Doc. 93). For the following reasons, the motion is deni ed. S nyder filed his motion on June 4, 2010. He explains in his motion that he is s c heduled to have surgery to remove a heart blockage. He is scheduled to travel to Savannah,Georgia on June 7, 2010 for the surgery and anticipates staying in S avannah until June 10, 2010. Afterward he will remain in an infirmary until June 14, 2010. He will not have access to legal materials during his surgery and time spent rec overing in the hospital and infirmary. S nyder's case is scheduled for trial on July 12, 2010. The Court believes that there is adequate time for Snyder to prepare for trial after he completes his s c heduled surgery and recovery. His motion is accordingly denied. Of course, if any c om plic ations from surgery arise, Snyder is directed to bring them to the Court's

attention. At that time, the Court will consider granting a motion to stay. SO ORDERED, this the 7th day of June, 2010.
