CIVIL ACTION NO.: 4:17CV090-DMB-JMV

COAHOMA COUNTY SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND XANDRA BROOKSKEYS, IN HER OFFICIAL PERSONAL
AND INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
THIS CAUSE IS before the Court on Defendant Xandra Brooks-Keys’ Motion to Stay
Discovery pursuant to Uniform Local Rule 16(b)(3)(B) on the ground that as an employee and
superintendent of the Coahoma County School District, Defendant Xandra Brooks-Key is entitled to
qualified immunity from Plaintiff’s claims.
Uniform Local Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that the filing of "a motion asserting an immunity
defense or jurisdictional defense stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all
discovery pending the court's ruling on the motion, including any appeal." There having been a motion
to dismiss on qualified immunity grounds filed on November 28, 2017, the Court finds Defendant’s
Motion to Stay Discovery well taken.
Based on the foregoing, it is ordered that Defendant’s Motion to Stay Discovery is granted.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all discovery is STAYED pursuant to Uniform Local Rule
16(b)(3)(B).
SO ORDERED this 1st day of December, 2017.
