STIPULATION AND PROPOSED
ORDER TO STAY DISCOVERY

Plaintiff,

[First Request]

v.
APPLIED MEDICAL RESOURCES, INC., a
Foreign Corporation; W.L. GORE &
ASSOCIATES, INC., a Foreign Corporation;
Defendants.
_______________________________________

21

Plaintiffs Donna Jackson and Gloria Jackson (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their attorney

22

of record, the law firm of Moss Berg Injury Lawyers, and Defendant W. L. Gore & Associates,

23

Inc. (“Gore”), by and through its counsel, the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, hereby

24

stipulate and respectfully jointly move this Court to stay discovery in this matter, including the

25

FRCP 26(f) conference and FRCP 26(f) initial disclosures, pending a ruling on Gore’s Motion to

26

Dismiss (“Motion”) (Doc. 14)1. The Motion has been fully briefed by the parties and submitted

27
28

1

Plaintiffs shall dismiss all claims against Applied Medical Resources, Inc. (“Applied”), negating the need
for Applied to be party to this Stipulation.

-1ATL 22404087v1

1

to the Court for decision. As addressed in the Motion, Gore submits that among other issues

2

substantiating this Court’s anticipated decision to grant the Motion, Plaintiffs’ claims against

3

Gore are time barred and must be dismissed as a matter of law2. Thus, the nature and scope of

4

discovery to be had, if any, is wholly dependent upon the outcome of the pending Motion.

5

Should the Court deny Gore’s Motion, in whole or in part, the parties stipulate to holding the

6

FRCP 26(f) conference within ten (10) days of the Court’s decision. This stipulation is made in

7

good faith and not for purposes of delay.

8

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
