Case No. 07-1212-MLB

ORDER TO STAY
On Thursday, November 15, 2012, the parties engaged in a telephone
conference with the Hon. District Judge Monti L. Belot and the undersigned
Magistrate Judge. The topic of the conference was the “Order to Show Cause”
filed by this Court requiring Relators and Defendant Turbine Engine Components
Technologies Corporation (“TECT”) to “show cause why all discovery and
deadlines in this case should not be STAYED pending the resolution of the
bankruptcy stay regarding Relators’ claims against Defendant Raytheon Aircraft
Company and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.” (Doc. 376.) Specifically,
Relators wanted to have resolution regarding certain outstanding discovery
requests and pending discovery motions involving Relators and TECT.

Following argument by counsel for the parties, all of whom were
represented telephonically by counsel, the Court finds that continuing with
discovery on a piecemeal basis at this time would not be appropriate. The Court
therefore ORDERS that all proceedings in this matter shall be STAYED for a
period of 90 days from the date of this Order. The Court will schedule this matter
for a status conference at the expiration of this 90 day stay to determine if the
matter should proceed or if the stay should be extended. In addition, the parties are
instructed to inform the Court of any relevant developments regarding the matter
currently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York, filed by Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (see Doc. 354).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 16th day of November, 2012.
