ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO STAY DISCOVERY AND CERTAIN PRETRIAL DEADLINES
Defendant BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP f/k/a Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, LP ("BACHLS") moves the Court for an Order staying discovery and the deadlines to conduct a Rule 26(f) conference, serve initial disclosures, and file a joint preliminary report and discovery plan. The Court has considered BACHLS's Motion and concludes that good cause has been shown for the Court to stay discovery and these deadlines during the Court's consideration of BACHLS's Motion to Dismiss filed on June 23, 2011.
Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS BACHLS's Motion to Stay Discovery and Certain Pretrial Deadlines. The Court STAYS the discovery period and the parties' obligations to comply with the deadlines for conducting a Rule 26(f) conference, serving initial disclosures, and filing a joint preliminary report and discovery plan. Should the Court deny BACHLS's Motion to Dismiss, the parties may commence discovery and shall conduct a Rule 26(f) conference, serve initial disclosures, and file a joint preliminary report and discovery plan within thirty (30) days of the Court's Order denying such motion.
