ORDER
HERNDON, Chief Judge:
This case comes before this Court for case management. After consulting
with Magistrate Judge Philip M. Frazier about the parties’ positions regarding a
stay of proceedings pending a decision on plaintiff’s motion to dismiss (Docs. 19
& 20), this Court finds a stay is necessary. A stay will save time and expense
associated with discovery and further litigation until the dispositive motion is
ruled upon. Therefore, proceedings in this case shall be stayed until the Court
rules on the pending motion to dismiss.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 13th day of July, 2011.
