ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “[f]iling . . . a motion asserting . . . a
[] jurisdictional defense stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all
discovery, pending the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal.” Because the
defendant has raised the issue of subject matter jurisdiction by separate motion [5],
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED pending a ruling on the jurisdiction motion.
This 8th day of May, 2017.

/s/ Jane M. Virden
U.S. Magistrate Judge
