IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
NELDA SALCEDO,
Plaintiff,
v.

CV 17-646 KK/WPL

CITY OF SANTA FE and SANTA FE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, CITY POLICE OFFICER
BRYAN MARTINEZ AND SUCH OTHER AFFICERS
YET TO BE IDENTIFIED,
Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO STAY
On June 21, 2017, the Defendants filed a motion to stay discovery (Doc. 7) pending
resolution of their motion to dismiss (Doc. 6). Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(b), “[t]he failure of a
party to file and serve a response in opposition to a motion within the time prescribed for doing
so constitutes consent to grant the motion.” Salcedo had “fourteen (14) calendar days after
service of the motion” in which to file a response. D.N.M.LR-Civ. 7.4(a). As of July 10, 2017,
Salcedo has not filed a response and has not filed a notice of extension of briefing. Accordingly,
Salcedo has consented to the Defendants’ motion to stay discovery pending resolution of the
motion to dismiss.
The motion to stay (Doc. 7) is therefore granted. The deadline to submit the Joint Status
Report is vacated, as is the Rule 16 scheduling conference set for July 24, 2017, at 9:00 a.m. The
Court will issue an amended initial scheduling order after resolution of the motion to dismiss.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
