ORDER
This case comes before the court pursuant to Rule 16.1(b)(3)(B) of the Uniform Local Rules for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi. The rule provides that
Filing an immunity defense or jurisdictional defense motion stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery not related to the issue pending the court's ruling on the motion, including any appeal.

Additionally, with respect to plaintiffs' motion to compel [Doc. #52] the motion is granted in part and denied in part as ordered from the bench in the hearing held on February 10, 2010.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
• Except as to defendant Patrick Plass, individually, discovery not related to the pending jurisdictional issue is hereby stayed; and,
• Plaintiff's motion to compel is granted in part and denied in part; and,
• Parties are to bear their own costs.
SO ORDERED.
