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 plaintiffs have moved to
remand this case to state court [5], staying certain proceedings is appropriate.
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 25th day of October, 2017.
/s/ Jane M. Virden
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
