This matter is before the court on Third Party Defendant’s, Reaves Firm Incorporated,
Motion to Stay and for Entry of a New Case Management Scheduling Order [43]. On May 27,
2014, Reaves filed a Motion to Dismiss combining various defenses, including lack of subject
matter jurisdiction [36]. Pursuant to L. U. CIV. R. 16(b)(3)(B), [f]iling… a jurisdictional defense
motion stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery not related to
the issue pending the court’s ruling on the motion . . . .” That same day, a Motion to Continue
Trial [44] was also filed. Upon due consideration of the motion and the cases’ dockets, the court
finds those matters delineated in the aforementioned rule should be stayed pending a resolution
of the Motion to Continue Trial. The court will revisit the stay and the pertinent case
management deadlines once a decision is made on the Motion to Continue Trial.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED pending a ruling on the Motion to Continue Trial. The parties shall notify the
undersigned magistrate judge within forty-eight (48) hours of a decision on that Motion.

SO ORDERED, this the 18th day of June, 2014.
