CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:16-CV-1669
(Chief Judge Conner)

ORDER
AND NOW, this 18th day of January, 2017, upon consideration of defendants’
motion (Doc. 30) to stay discovery pending disposition of defendants’ motions (Docs.
22, 25, 26) to dismiss, and the court concluding that a stay is inappropriate as the
benefits of a stay do not outweigh the potential for harm to the parties, see 19th St.
Baptist Church v. St. Peters Episcopal Church, 190 F.R.D. 345, 349 (E.D. Pa. 2000)
(citation omitted), it is hereby ORDERED that defendants’ motion (Doc. 30) is
DENIED.
