THIS MATTER came before the Court on Plaintiff American Magic Real Estate, Inc.'s and Defendant RE/MAX International, Inc.'s Stipulated Motion to Stay Discovery Deadlines Pending Determination of the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint for Improper Venue.

1) Plaintiff American Magic Real Estate, Inc.'s and Defendant RE/MAX International, Inc.'s Stipulated Motion to Stay Discovery Deadlines is GRANTED;
2) The deadlines set forth in the Court's March 5, 2009 Order for a Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(f) conference, the parties' Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1) disclosures, and the parties' combined joint status report are stayed pending this Court's ruling on the pending Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint for Improper Venue; and
3) Defendant RE/MAX International, Inc.'s Motion to Stay All Proceedings Pending Determination of Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint for Improper Venue (Dkt. 25) is denied as moot.
