OPINION AND ORDER
The following motions are before the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge
for decision: Plaintiff’ Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Outcome of Appeal, [Dkt. 6];
Trustee’s Motion to Stay Appeal Pending Bankruptcy Court’s Ruling on Motion to Impose
Sanctions Against Appellant’s Counsel, Martha Hyde, [Dkt. 14]; and motions adopting the
Trustee’s motion, [Dkt. 18, 20].
Plaintiff’s motion is not directed to this court. It seeks relief from the Bankruptcy
Court and was ruled on by the Bankruptcy Court, therefore Plaintiff’s motion, [Dkt. 6], is
DENIED.
The court has been advised that on August 27, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court granted
the Appellant’s motion for a stay of the pending motion for sanctions against Appellant’s
counsel. [Dkt. 38]. The Trustee’s motion is rendered moot by the Bankruptcy Court’s order
staying its consideration of the motion for sanctions pending the outcome of this appeal.
Therefore, the Trustee’s Motion to Stay Appeal Pending Bankruptcy Court’s Ruling on
Motion to Impose Sanctions Against Appellant’s Counsel, Martha Hyde, [Dkt. 14]; and
motions adopting the Trustee’s motion, [Dkt. 18, 20], are DENIED as MOOT.

SO ORDERED this 13th day of October, 2015.
