ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO STAY
This matter is before me on the defendant's Forthwith Motion for Stay of Execution of December 22, 2009 Order Regarding [Pro Se Plaintiff's] Motion To Compel Responses To Interrogatories (Docket No. 68) [#80] filed January 7, 2010. I grant the motion.
"[#80]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
On December 22, 2009, Magistrate Judge Watanabe entered an order [#68] granting the plaintiff's motion to compel responses to interrogatories. The defendant's responses to those interrogatories are due today, January 8, 2010. The defendant filed objections [#76] to the order of the magistrate judge. The defendant's objections are not yet ripe for resolution. To maintain the status quo pending resolution of the defendant's objections, I grant the motion to stay. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the defendant's Forthwith Motion for Stay of Execution of December 22, 2009 Order Regarding [Pro Se Plaintiff's] Motion To Compel Responses To Interrogatories (Docket No. 68) [#80] filed January 7, 2010, is GRANTED; and
2. That the requirements of the Order Regarding [Pro Se Plaintiff's] Motion To Compel Responses To Interrogatories (Docket No. 68) [#75] filed December 22, 2009, are STAYED pending resolution of the defendant's objections [#76] to the order of the magistrate judge.
