DEFENDANTS

ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
This case is before the court pursuant to L.U.CIV.R. 16(b)(3)(B). Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides:
[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. 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.
Defendants filed a motion [18] to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction on April 22, 2018.
Accordingly, those proceedings specifically enumerated in L.U.CIV.R. 16(b)(3)(B) are STAYED
pending a ruling on the jurisdiction motion.
THIS, the 30th day of April, 2018.
