Newton v. Discover Bank

Filing 10

ORDER STAYING CASE re 7 . Signed by Magistrate Judge Jane M. Virden on 6/14/19. (bfg)

ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Local Uniform Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides that “[f]iling a motion to compel
arbitration … stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery,
pending the court’s ruling on the motion, including any appeal.” L.U. CIV. R. 16(b)(3)(B)
(emphasis added). Because the defendant has moved to compel arbitration [7], staying certain
proceedings is appropriate at this time.
If any party desires to take discovery related to the motion, it 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 arbitration-related
discovery.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED as aforesaid pending a ruling on the motion. Defendant shall notify the undersigned
magistrate judge within seven (7) days of a decision on the motion to compel arbitration and
shall submit a proposed order lifting the stay.

SO ORDERED this, the 14th day of June, 2019.
/s/ Jane M. Virden
