NO. 5:11-CV-144 (MTT)
Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. ยง1983
Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge
ORDER
Before the Court is a Motion to Stay (Doc. 22) wherein Defendants Gregory McLaughlin,
John Hill, Mary Colbert, Lorrita Johnson and Jamie Hall request that proceedings in this action be
stayed pending resolution of their pending Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 16). Given the nature of the
Motion to Dismiss, it is in the interests of justice to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion,
in order to avoid any potentially unnecessary costs and burdens associated with further litigation.
Accordingly, said Motion is hereby GRANTED as follows: Discovery is stayed until the pending
Motion to Dismiss has been resolved or until further order of the Court, except that discovery may
be had as to the issue of Plaintiff's exhaustion of administrative remedies.
SO ORDERED, this 19th day of August, 2011.
s/ Charles H. Weigle

United States Magistrate Judge
