At the time the remand motion or referral motion is filed, the movant must submit to the magistrate judge an order granting the stay but permitting discovery concerning only the remand or referral issue. The parties must promptly notify the magistrate judge of any order denying a motion to remand or motion to refer and must promptly submit an order lifting the stay. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that all proceedings herein, including the Case Management Conference and all motions filed by the parties herein, but excluding discovery relating to the remand issues, shall be and are hereby stayed pending the court's ruling on the Motion to Remand. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that should the Motion to Remand be denied, plaintiff's counsel shall contact the court within ten days of the denial to advise of the need to re-schedule the Case Management Conference. SO ORDERED, this the 18th day of October 2010. /s/ David A. Sanders UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE PLAINTIFF CIVIL ACTION NO.: 3:10CV102-M-A DEFENDANTS
