v.

CAUSE NO: 4:16CV44-DMB-JMV

EARNEST LEE, 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.” Because defendants
have raised the issue of immunity by separate motion [4],
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings and the case
management conference are hereby STAYED pending a ruling on the immunity motion.
Defendants must notify the undersigned within seven (7) days of a decision on the immunity
defense motion and shall submit a proposed order lifting the stay.
This 12th day of April, 2016.

/s/ Jane M. Virden
U.S. Magistrate Judge
