CASE NO: 7:22-CV-75 (WLS)

ORDER
Pursuant to the Court’s Initial Discovery Order (Doc. 26) (“Order”) entered
September 29, 2022, an Initial Scheduling/Discovery Conference was scheduled in this case
for Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at 3:30 p.m. A Notice of Cancellation of the conference
was docketed on November 21, 2022.
On review of the record in this case, there appears to be confusion as to which Parties
have requested and received a stay of discovery pending resolution of dispositive motions filed
in this case. For purposes of clarification, this action has been stayed only as to discovery
between the Plaintiff and Defendants Hospital of Irwin County, Mahendra Amin, Irwin
County Detention Center, LaSalle Southeast, LLC, and Warden David Paulk. (See Docs. 30,
44.)
The Court notes that Summonses were issued on U.S. Immigration & Customs
Enforcement and multiple Government officials sued in their official capacities on
September 22, 2022. Answers by those parties are due by November 21, 2022.
Thomas P. Giles was sued only in his individual capacity and a Summons was issued
on September 22, 2022. Mr. Giles has not filed an answer or otherwise pled by the deadline
of October 13, 2022. Nor has a motion for extension been filed on his behalf.
On November 1, 2022, Anna L. Dichter, counsel in the Civil Division of the Office of
Immigration Litigation, entered her appearance as counsel for “Federal Defendants sued in

1

Case 7:22-cv-00075-WLS Document 48 Filed 11/21/22 Page 2 of 2

their official capacity.” Ms. Dichter needs to clarify by name each Federal Defendant she
represents.
Finally, Summonses have not been issued on multiple “FNU” named parties sued
individually and in their official capacities as Officers of the Irwin County Detention Center.
Based on the foregoing, and for purposes of clarifying the record and status of
Defendants, the Court ORDERS:
1.

This action is STAYED as to discovery ONLY between the Plaintiff and

Defendants Hospital of Irwin County, Mahendra Amin, Irwin County Detention Center,
LaSalle Southeast, LLC, and Warden David Paulk. Except as previously ordered, the Court’s
Initial Discovery Order (Doc. 26) shall remain in effect as to all other Defendants in this action
and as to discovery between the Plaintiff and all other Defendants.
2.

Any Defendants desiring to stay discovery as to themselves may file the

appropriate motion.
3.

Upon the filing of the answers or responsive pleadings by Defendants on whom

Summonses have been issued, the Court will provide notice of the rescheduled Initial
Scheduling/Discovery Conference.
4.

Anna L. Dichter shall file an amended Appearance of Counsel naming each

Defendant whom she represents.
SO ORDERED, this 21st day of November 2022.
