PLAINTIFF

V.

CAUSE NO. 4:16CV00236-DMB-JMV

MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

DEFENDANT

ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “[f]iling . . . a motion asserting . . .
a[] jurisdictional defense stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all
discovery, pending the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal.” Because defendant
has raised the issue of subject matter jurisdiction by separate motion [41],
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings and the case
management conference are hereby STAYED pending a ruling on the jurisdiction motion.
This 7th day of April, 2017.

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