ORDER ON MOTION FOR STAY OF DISCOVERY PENDING RESOLUTION OF
MOTION TO REMAND
Before the Court is the Parties’ Joint Motion for Stay of Discovery Pending Resolution of
Motion to Remand. Because the Court’s ruling on Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand may make
discovery on either the ERISA issue or the breach of contract issue unnecessary, proceeding with
discovery may lead to the expenditure of unnecessary resources by the parties.
It is therefore ORDERED that discovery is stayed pending the Court’s decision on
Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand. All deadlines not related to the Motion to Remand shall be
extended by the number of days discovery is stayed.
SO ORDERED, this 10th day of August, 2017.
