Bey v. Falk

Filing 68

ORDER STAYING CASE and Administratively Closing Case. Signed by District Judge Denise Page Hood. (LSau)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
CHRISTOPHER LEE- MURRAY BEY,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 14-cv-13743
v.
HON. DENISE PAGE HOOD
ADAM FALK, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER STAYING CASE
AND
ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING CASE
Defendants in this matter have filed Notices of Appeal from the Court’s various
Orders denying motions for summary judgment and reconsideration.1 (Doc. Nos. 63,
66) “A denial of summary judgment is generally not a final judgment.” Haynes v.
City of Circleville, Ohio, 474 F.3d 357, 361 (6th Cir. 2007)(quoting Hoover v.
Radabaugh, 307 F.3d 460, 465 (6th Cir. 2002)). A denial of summary judgment on
the ground of qualified immunity may be appealed as a collateral order where (1) the
defendant is a public official asserting the defense of qualified immunity and (2) the
issue appealed concerns not which facts the parties might be able to prove, but
whether certain alleged facts reflect a violation of clearly established law. Haynes,

1

Plaintiff also filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Supreme Court. (Doc. No. 153)

474 F.3d at 361. The Court will stay the matter until the resolution of the appeals.
See Mithcell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511 (1985).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that this action is STAYED and ADMINISTRATIVELY
CLOSED. The action may be reopened after a party provides the Court with notice
that a mandate has been issued from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
