EZEKIEL GAMBLE, JR., Plaintiff, v. DR. ROWLES, et al., Defendants.
Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. §1983
Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge
ORDER
Before the Court is a Motion to Stay (Doc. 14) wherein Defendants Dr. Rowles and Dr. Zanville request that this action be stayed pending resolution of their pending Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 12). Given the nature of the Motion to Dismiss, it is in the interests of justice to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion, in order to avoid any potentially unnecessary costs and burdens associated with further litigation. Accordingly, said Motion is hereby GRANTED as follows: Discovery is stayed until the pending Motion to Dismiss has been resolved or until further order of the Court, except that discovery may be had as to the issue of Plaintiff's exhaustion of administrative remedies.
