RIKA JONES, As Administratrix of the Estate of Robert Loggins, ET AL. PLAINTIFFS v. JUSTIN GAMMAGE, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Jane M. Virden, U.S. Magistrate Judge
This case is before the Court pursuant to L.U.CIV.R. 16(b)(3)(B). Rule 16(b)(3)(B) provides:
[f]iling a motion to compel arbitration, or a motion asserting an immunity defense or jurisdictional defense stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery, pending the court's ruling on the motion, including any appeal. Whether to permit discovery on issues related to the motion and whether to permit any portion of the case to proceed pending resolution of the motion are decisions committed to the discretion of the court, upon a motion by any party seeking relief.
On July 31, 2021, Defendant Albert Tilley filed a motion [49] for summary judgment based on an immunity defense. Accordingly, all proceedings enumerated in Rule 16(b)(3)(B), and the case management conference, are STAYED, pending a ruling on the immunity motion. If a party desires that any stayed matter proceed, it must file a motion requesting same within fourteen (14) days of the date of this order.
SO ORDERED.
