JUSTIN CARNAZ HARDEN, Plaintiff, v. BARBARA HOOVER and MICHAEL TOMASZCYZK, Defendants.
Hon. Jane M. Beckering J.
ORDER STAYING CASE
RAY KENT UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, a prisoner in the custody of the Michigan Department of Corrections, filed this action as a pro se civil rights lawsuit against defendants Hoover and Tomaszczyk. After defendants moved for summary judgment based on plaintiff's failure to exhaust administrative remedies (ECF No. 21), the Oliver Law Group PC entered an appearance for plaintiff and filed a response to the motion. Based on these developments, the Court concludes that the case should be stayed until the preliminary question of exhaustion is resolved.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this case is STAYED pending further order of the Court. If plaintiff's case survives the pending motion for summary judgment, then the Court will issue an amended case management order.
