ORDER - This case is stayed through October 1, 2019. On or before that date the parties shall notify the Court of the status of this case. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael D. Nelson. (LAC)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
THOMAS D. SAILORS,
Plaintiff,

8:18CV189

vs.
ORDER
MAXWELL HUBKA, City of Lincoln Police
Ofc. #1655, COLE JENNINGS, City of Lincoln
Police Ofc. #1650, and DANIEL KEYES,
Special Administrator of the Estate of Paul
Keyes, US Marshal #3483, in their individual
capacities;
Defendants.
This matter comes before the Court following a telephonic status conference held with
counsel for the parties. Plaintiff’s counsel suggested that the case be stayed pending the final
disposition of his tort claim by the appropriate federal agency to avoid piecemeal litigation of his
civil rights claim and any potential tort claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 2675. Although counsel for the
City of Lincoln Police Officers objects to the stay, the Court finds that the stay would promote
judicial economy and is in the best interests of the parties and the Court. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED: This case is stayed through October 1, 2019. On or before that date
the parties shall notify the Court of the status of this case.
Dated this 1st day of July, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Michael D. Nelson
United States Magistrate Judge
