Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:06CV609WA.
January 29, 2007
ORDER
This matter came before the court on the parties' Joint Motion to Stay, by which they seek a stay of these proceedings pending the outcome of an appeal that is pending before the Board of Aldermen. The court is of the opinion that the request should be granted; however, the court is unwilling to grant a stay that is open-ended or indefinite. Therefore, the court will grant the Motion, but only to the extent that the Defendants' obligation to answer the Complaint will be stayed until March 30, 2007.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Stay is hereby granted in part and denied in part, and the Defendants shall have until March 30, 2007, within which to answer or otherwise plead in this matter.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
