State Defendants Robert Sharp, the State of Mississippi, the Mississippi Department of
Public Safety, and the Mississippi Gaming Commission have moved to dismiss all of the claims
asserted against them in the above-styled case on several bases, including, but not limited to,
sovereign immunity and lack of jurisdiction.
Under L.U.CIV.R. 16(b)(3)(B) “[f]iling 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.”

conference, disclosure requirements, and merits discovery in this case are stayed, pending a
ruling on Defendants’ motion to dismiss.
This, the 8th day of November, 2016.
