ORDER
Staying Pretrial Filing Deadlines

THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Motion for Summary Judgment submitted on
behalf of the Defendant State of North Carolina (“NC”), filed February 15, 2013. (Doc. 45). In
addition, the Court now has before it Plaintiff Katheryn Johnson’s (“Johnson”) response in
opposition, Defendant’s reply, as well as all of the materials filed in support or in opposition
thereto. (Docs. 49, 50).
Having reviewed the parties’ legal arguments, the evidentiary record, and the applicable
law, the Court is of the view that no genuine disputes of material fact appear to exist such that
summary judgment disposition would be precluded. See FED. R. CIV. P. 56(a) (2010); Anderson
v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242 (1986) (applying former version of Rule 56); Celotex Corp. v.
Catrett, 477 U.S. 317 (1986) (same).
Because this matter is currently scheduled for jury trial during the May 2013 Statesville
Division Term, and in light of the various pretrial filing deadlines the parties are subject to, the
instant Order serves to STAY all pretrial deadlines pending issuance of a Memorandum and

Order fully explaining the Court’s reasoning and analysis concerning Plaintiff’s remaining Title
VII claim.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all pretrial deadlines are hereby STAYED pending
further Order or direction from the Court concerning NC’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
Unless otherwise instructed by the Court, the parties are likewise excused from appearing for
Calendar Call on May 6, 2013.

Signed: April 17, 2013
