CIVIL ACTION NO.: 4:14-cv-147-DMB-JMV
HARTFORD UNDERWRITERS
INSURANCE CARRIER, ET AL.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(1)(B) provides, “[a] motion to remand . . . will stay the
attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery not relevant to the remand …
issue and will stay the parties’ obligation to make disclosures pending the court’s ruling on the
motion. . . .” L.U. CIV. R. 16(b)(1)(B) (emphasis added). Because the plaintiff has moved to
remand this case to state court [5], staying certain proceedings is appropriate.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED as aforesaid pending a ruling on the motion to remand. Should the parties desire to
undertake remand related discovery they should first contact the court for scheduling of same.
Defendants shall notify the undersigned magistrate judge within seven (7) days of a decision on
the motion to remand and shall submit a proposed order lifting the stay.
SO ORDERED this, the 12th day of November, 2014.
/s/ Jane M. Virden
