Opinion
Civil Action No. 5:12-CV-394 (HL)
02-06-2013
ORDER
This case is before the Court on a Motion to Stay Discovery filed by Defendant Rob Braswell. (Doc. 7). Defendant Braswell filed a motion to dismiss on January 25, 2013, and seeks to have all discovery as to him stayed until the motion to dismiss is resolved. The Motion to Stay Discovery is denied as premature. The Court has not ordered the parties to confer as required by Rule 16, and discovery in this Court does not begin until after the Rule 16 conference is held. Defendant Braswell can again move to stay discovery once the Court enters its Rules 16 and 26 order, which will be done once all of the defendants have filed responsive pleadings.
