Plaintiff,
v.
BAKER CONSTRUCTORS, INC.,
et al.,
Defendants.

CV418-073

ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant Baker Constructors, Inc.’s (“BCI”)
Emergency Motion to Stay Discovery.

Doc. 103.

In the motion,

defendant BCI also requests that the Court shorten the time for Plaintiff
to respond to the Emergency Motion because there are several quickly
approaching deadlines.

The Court is cognizant that discovery

preparation takes time, nevertheless, it is not willing to abrogate time for
responses merely because a motion is filed close to a discovery deadline.
As a result, the Court will temporarily STAY discovery in this case for

1

thirty days.

Plaintiff, and the remaining defendants, shall have the

normal period of time to respond to defendant BCI’s motion to stay.
Also before the Court are defendant BCI’s Motions for Leave to File
Under Seal. Doc. 100, doc. 101. Because these documents rely on and
incorporate confidential information as well as briefs previously filed
under seal, the motions are GRANTED. BCI is permitted leave to file its
Supplemental Motion to Compel Arbitration and Incorporated Brief in
Support along with its Motion to Dismiss First Amended Complaint under
seal.
SO ORDERED, this 21st day of March, 2019.
