ROBERT WILLIAMS, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

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 defendants
have raised the issue of subject-matter jurisdiction by a motion [29] filed May 23, 2018,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings and the case
management conference are hereby STAYED pending a ruling on the jurisdiction motion.
This 6th day of June, 2018.

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