filed, the moving party shall submit to the magistrate judge a proposed order
granting the stay but permitting discovery relevant only to the defense raised
in the motion.
(d) The plaintiff must promptly notify the magistrate judge of a decision on
the motion and must submit a proposed order lifting the stay. Within
fourteen days of the order lifting the stay, the parties must confer in
accordance with L.U.Civ.R. 26(c), and all other deadlines will be
determined accordingly.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that all proceedings herein, including the Case
Management Conference and all motions filed by the parties herein, but excluding discovery
relating to the issues of immunity, shall be and are hereby stayed pending the court’s ruling on
the Motion to Dismiss.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that should the Motion to Dismiss be denied, plaintiff’s
counsel shall contact the court within ten days of the denial to advise of the need to re-schedule
the Case Management Conference.
