Civil Action No. 07-cv-00355-RPM.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR STAY OF DISCOVERY
On July 3, 2007, Defendant Charles Deshazer filed a motion seeking a stay of discovery and protective order, asking that all discovery with respect to him in this civil action be stayed because of a criminal investigation which may involve him as a subject of inquiry. The relief requested is too broad and not necessary for the protection of Defendant Deshazer's privilege under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. That privilege is not applicable to all discovery with respect to the claims against him in this case and it may be invoked selectively as may be appropriate. It is
ORDERED that the motion to stay discovery with respect to Defendant Charles Deshazer is denied.
