DEFENDANTS

ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “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. Whether to permit discovery on issues
related to a motion… [is a decision] committed to the discretion of the court, upon a motion by
any party seeking relief.” L.U. CIV. R. 16(b)(3)(B).
Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss based on jurisdictional defense [11].
Accordingly, staying discovery in this case is appropriate at this time.
IT IS, THERFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss. Defendants shall notify the undersigned
magistrate judge within seven (7) days of a decision on the immunity motion and shall submit a
proposed order lifting the stay.
SO ORDERED this 24th day of June, 2021
