ORDER
The Court GRANTS the motion of defendants Ronald A. Collins,
Plantation Sweets, Inc., and Vidalia Plantation, Inc., to stay this case in
light of their bankruptcies. Doc. 141. For docket-clearing purposes only,
the Court DENIES as moot their motions for a protective order (doc.
113), for an extension of time within which to file an answer and respond
to plaintiffs’ discovery (doc. 123), and to extend discovery. Doc. 131.
The Court GRANTS the Perez defendants’ (Perez Forestry, LLC’s
and Narciso Perez’s) page-limitation motion. Doc. 128. It DENIES

their motions to compel and extend discovery, docs. 123 & 129, along
with plaintiff’s motion to compel, doc. 98 -- without prejudice to renew
them after counsel for plaintiffs and the Perezes confer. 1 Finally,
plaintiffs’ partial summary judgment motion (doc. 101) remains pending
before the district judge; it is up to him whether to administratively deny
it without prejudice to renew.

SO ORDERED , this 22nd day of July, 2016.
