The Court notes that the stay provided that it would automatically lift
as of the date the Second Circuit entered the decision in Jackson. See doc. 16.
Additionally, in her application for a stay, plaintiff stated that she would file
objections to the R&R within 13 days of the stay being lifted. See doc. 15-1. For
the convenience of the parties and the Court, however, the Court issues the
scheduling order herein with regard to objections to the R&R.
