ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
______________________________________________________________________________

Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “[f]iling a motion to compel
arbitration … stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery,
pending the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal.” L.U. CIV. R. 16(b)(3)(B).
Because the Defendants have moved to compel arbitration [7], staying certain proceedings is
appropriate.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED as aforesaid pending a ruling on the arbitration motion.
Defendants shall notify the undersigned magistrate judge within seven (7) days of a
decision on the motion to dismiss or in the alternative to compel arbitration and shall submit a
proposed order lifting the stay.
SO ORDERED this, the 3rd day of October, 2017.
/s/ Jane M. Virden
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
