UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT   
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI   
GREENVILLE DIVISION   

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI BY:   
AFFIDAVIT OF STEVEN TYLER    

PLAINTIFF   

v.

JAMES R. BOBO, et al.

CASE NO.: 4:17-cv-79-DMB-JMV   

DEFENDANTS

STAY 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 Defendants have moved
to remand this case to state court [14], staying certain proceedings is appropriate.
If any party desires to take remand-related discovery, they must file a motion for leave to
do so within seven (7) days hereof, setting forth the type and scope of such discovery and an
estimated time frame for constructing it. If any party objects to the motion for discovery, it shall
file its objection within four (4) days following service of the motion for remand-related discovery.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED, pending a ruling on the motion to remand. 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 15th day of May, 2018.
