Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. ยง1983
Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge
ORDER
Before the Court is a Motion to Stay (Doc.16) wherein Defendant Brian Owens requests that
discovery in this action be stayed pending resolution of his pending Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 15).
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.
SO ORDERED, this 13th day of March, 2012.
s/ Charles H. Weigle
