ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jane M. Virden on 11/12/2014. (lec)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION
RICKEY SMITH
PLAINTIFF

CIVIL ACTION NO.: 4:14-cv-127-NBB-JMV
LEFLORE COUNTY, ET AL.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “[f]iling…an immunity defense …
motion stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery not related
to the issue pending the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal.” L.U. CIV. R.
16(b)(3)(B) (emphasis added). Because the defendants have raised the issue of immunity by
separate motion [10], staying certain proceedings is appropriate.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED as aforesaid pending a ruling on the immunity motion. Should the parties desire to
undertake immunity related discovery, they should contact the court for scheduling of same.
Defendants shall notify the undersigned magistrate judge within seven (7) days of a decision on
the immunity defense motion and shall submit a proposed order lifting the stay.
SO ORDERED this, the 12th day of November, 2014.
/s/ Jane M. Virden
