ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay Trial
Court Proceedings [Doc. 6].
The Plaintiff moves the Court to enter an Order staying the deadline
for completion of the initial attorneys’ conference in this matter.

The

Defendant does not oppose the Plaintiff’s motion. [Doc. 6].
The grounds cited by the Plaintiff for requesting a stay is that the
Plaintiff needs time to amend its Complaint. The Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay
was filed on February 6, 2018. To date, however, the Plaintiff has not sought
to file an Amended Complaint, either by consent or with leave of Court. The
Court declines to stay this matter based on speculation of what the Plaintiff

might do in the future. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay is denied
without prejudice.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay Trial
Court Proceedings [Doc. 6] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The parties
shall file a Certificate of Initial Attorneys’ Conference within seven (7) days
of the entry of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Signed: February 13, 2018
