Plaintiffs,
ORDER GRANTING LIMITED STAY OF
DISCOVERY

vs.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.,

[Motion to Stay Discovery (#12)]

Defendants.

11

13

Before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Stay Discovery (#12). Defendants seek to stay

14

discovery until the Court addresses their pending Motion to Dismiss which raises issues of subject

15

matter jurisdiction and the pleading sufficiency of Plaintiffs’ complaint. Id. Defendants have given

16

sufficient reasons to stay discovery; however, the stay requested by Defendants does not set a date

17

certain for lifting the stay and will not be approved in that form.

18

Pursuant to Local Rules 7-2(b) and (d), oppositions must be filed “fourteen days after service of

19

the motion” and that “[t]he failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any

20

motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion.” Defendants filed their motion on May

21

8, 2014. To date, no opposition has been filed. Plaintiffs have consented to the granting of the instant

22

motion under Local Rule 7-2(d).

5

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties will not be required to file a proposed Discovery

6

Plan and Scheduling Order until the earlier of twenty (20) days after Defendants file an answer or

7

11

have not filed an answer at the time of filing the new stipulation/motion.
