ORDER STAYING CASE
Defendants Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company and OneBeacon America Insurance
Company each have filed motions to compel arbitration and to stay proceedings. [Dockets 7 &
9]. Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) dictates that:
Filing a motion to compel arbitration, or a motion asserting an
immunity defense or jurisdictional defense stays the attorney
conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery, pending
the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal. Whether to
permit discovery on issues related to the motion and whether to
permit any portion of the case to proceed pending resolution of the
motion are decisions committed to the discretion of the court, upon
a motion by any party seeking relief.
Consequently, this case is hereby STAYED pending a ruling on the motions to compel
arbitration. Counsel are directed to notify the undersigned within fourteen days of a ruling on
the motions.
SO ORDERED, this, the 22nd day of July, 2016.
/s/ S. Allan Alexander
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
