1
WHEREAS, the Court, in its order vacating the hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for
2
preliminary injunction and Defendants Cegavske and Gloria’s respective motions to
3
dismiss, has found that the state court proceedings (Case #A-17-764587-C) “could render
4
plaintiffs’ federal complaint moot.” (ECF No. 42 at 3:5-7).
5
WHEREAS, in light of the Court’s order (ECF No. 42) and the potential mooting
6
effect that the pending state court proceedings may have on this litigation, the parties have
7
met and conferred in good faith and have agreed that good cause supports a stay of all
8
discovery, including the parties’ obligation to submit a discovery plan to the Court, to
9
conserve the parties’ resources and in the interests of judicial economy.
10
In light of the foregoing, the parties stipulate and agree as follows:
11
1.
12
All discovery deadlines, including the parties’ obligation to submit a discovery
plan to the Court, are stayed pending the resolution of the state court proceedings;
13
2.
The parties agree to meet and confer within fourteen (14) days of the state
14
court proceeding’s termination in order to form a discovery plan and will submit a discovery
15
plan to the Court within 30 days of the state court proceeding’s termination; and
16
3.
Any party, after providing 5 days’ written notice to all parties in this action,
17
may apply via written motion to lift the stay of discovery.
