PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO.: 4:13-cv-63-SA-JMV

THE STANDARD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

DEFENDANT

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO CONTINUE STAY
This matter comes before the court on Defendant’s Second Motion to Stay [21]. Upon
due consideration of the motion, the court finds the motion is not well-taken and should be
denied for the following reasons.
The court finds a further stay is unnecessary. Rather, it will set a telephonic Case
Management Conference at which it intends to enter a Case Management Order. The Order will
defer the commencement of discovery until the denial of the currently pending motion to
dismiss, if any, or April 1, 2014 – whichever date is earlier. The Case Management Order will
delineate the deadlines for discovery, amendments, and other matters before the court.
Currently, the court plans to enter the following deadlines in the Case Management
Order:
(1) Amendments/Joinder Deadline: May 15, 2014;
(2) Plaintiff’s Designation of Experts Deadline: July 15, 2014;
(3) Defendant’s Designation of Experts Deadline: August 15, 2014;
(4) Discovery Deadline: October 1, 2014;
(5) Motion’s Deadline: October 15, 2014.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Defendant’s Second Motion to Stay is
hereby DENIED.

SO ORDERED, this the 4th day of November, 2013.
