IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Phillip S. Figa Civil Action No. 06-cv-00253-PSF-MJW ARTEMIO ORNELAS, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. SONIC-DENVER T, INC.; SONIC AUTOMOTIVE, INC.; and TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION, Defendants.

ORDER ON DEFENDANTS'MOTION TO STAY DISCOVERY

This matter comes before the Court on Defendants' Motion to Stay Discovery Pending a Ruling on Motion to Compel Arbitration (Dkt. # 16), filed April 24, 2006. The Court has performed a cursory review of the Defendants' Motion to Compel Arbitration (Dkt. # 15), also filed on April 24, 2006. Without prejudging the motion and prior to receiving plaintiff' response, the motion appears to have been filed in good faith and s presents a substantial issue as to whether arbitration should be compelled in connection with this dispute. In addition, the Court notes that plaintiff has served extensive discovery requests on defendants (Exhibit 2 to Motion to Stay Discovery) that may be rendered moot, or subject to substantial revision, in the event arbitration were compelled. In addition, pursuing discovery at this juncture, and in particular litigating over the scope of discovery, is not the most efficient use of the parties' resources. See e.g. Merrill Lynch,
