BENJAMIN MCIVER, Plaintiff, v. CARL HUMPHREY, Defendant.
Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. §1983
Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge
ORDER
Before the Court is a Motion to Stay (Doc. 11) wherein Defendant Carl Humphrey requests that proceedings in this action be stayed pending resolution of his pending motion seeking dismissal (Doc. 9). Given the nature of the request for dismissal, 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.
