ORDER

This matter comes before the court on Defendants’ Unopposed Motion to Stay Discovery
and Scheduling Conference (ECF No. 42), which seeks a stay of discovery and a rescheduling of
the scheduling conference pending a ruling on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss (ECF Nos. 36, 38,
and 40). For good cause shown, including that Defendants’ motion to stay is unopposed, that a
stay of discovery will preserve the parties’ resources, and that Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss
would be fully dispositive if granted, it is hereby ordered that discovery in this action is stayed
pending a ruling on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1.

The request to stay proceedings is granted. All pretrial proceedings in this case,

including discovery and initial disclosures, are stayed until further order of the court.
2.

The telephone scheduling conference set for September 17, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. is

cancelled. The September 7, 2020 deadline for the parties to submit a report of planning
conference pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) is vacated.
