ORDER
_________
The undersigned conducted a telephone conference today to discuss the discovery plan
outlined in the parties’ Rule 26(f) Report. Immediately preceding the conference, Defendant
filed its motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings, which is pending before U.S. District
Judge Dudley H. Bowen, Jr. Upon consideration of the parties’ positions as expressed during the
conference, and at the direction of Judge Bowen, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff to file any
brief in opposition to the motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings within fourteen days,
as contemplated by Local Rule 7.5. In particular, the parties’ opposition and reply briefs should
address whether the arbitration agreement touches the specific claims asserted in the Amended
Complaint for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq., and
for unjust enrichment under state common law. Judge Bowen will conduct oral argument

concerning the motion as soon as practicable. The Court hereby stays all discovery pending a
ruling on the motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings.
SO ORDERED this 9th day of January, 2015, at Augusta, Georgia.
