ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(1)(B) provides, “[a] motion to remand . . . will stay the
attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery not relevant to the remand
. . . issue and will stay the parties’ obligation to make disclosures pending the court’s ruling on
the motion . . . .” L.U. CIV. R. 16(b)(1)(B) (emphasis added). Because the plaintiff has filed a
motion to remand [15], staying certain proceedings is appropriate.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED pending a ruling on the motion to remand. Should the parties desire to undertake
remand related discovery, they should contact the court within seven (7) days hereof for
scheduling of same. Plaintiff shall notify the undersigned magistrate judge within seven (7) days
of a decision on the motion to remand and shall submit a proposed order lifting the stay.
SO ORDERED this, the 27th day of April, 2015.

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
