Pursuant to the Order of Reference dated March 12, 2009 (doc. #11) and the memorandum dated May 18, 2009 (doc. #35), this matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge.
On May 6, 2009, Ms. Puls filed a Notice of Appeal in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing the "Order denying Plaintiff's Second Motion for Appointment of Counsel." ( See doc. # 28). The Tenth Circuit has noted "[i]t appears this court lacks jurisdiction at this time over an appeal of that order. . . ." ( See doc. # 34). The court having reviewed the matter, the entire case file, and the applicable law and being sufficiently advised in the premises, IT IS ORDERED that:

2. Ms. Puls' request for a stay of all proceedings in this action is DENIED.
3. The Scheduling and Planning Conference set on Thursday June 11, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. is CONVERTED to a status conference. The parties are relieved of the deadlines and requirements set forth in the court's March 24, 2009 Order (doc. # 16).
4. Ms. Puls' response to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (doc. # 19) was due on or before May 12, 2009. That deadline is hereby vacated. At the status conference set on June 11, 2009, the court will set a new deadline for Ms. Puls to file her response to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss.
