Plaintiff,

No. 13-10168

v.

District Judge Avern Cohn
Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen

VICKI LEWIS, ET AL.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff Mark Reed’s motion to lift stay of discovery [Doc.
#55]. Discovery was stayed on July 15, 2013 [Doc. #16]. Since that time, a motion to
dismiss was granted, the Plaintiff appealed, and the Sixth Circuit reversed the dismissal as
to a retaliation claim against two Defendants, Lewis and Fettig, and remanded to this
Court. On August 22, 2016, I filed a Report and Recommendation, recommending that
these Defendants’ motion to dismiss on grounds of non-exhaustion be denied [Doc. #22].
No objections were filed within the 14-day period for doing so.
Therefore, discovery may go forward, and Plaintiff’s motion to lift the stay of
discovery [Doc. #55] is GRANTED.
