Mariani Judge
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Martin C. Carlson United States Magistrate Judge
The background of this order is as follows:
This is an employment discrimination lawsuit brought by a former court security officer against her employer, Paragon Systems. The defendant has filed a motion for summary judgment with accompanying statement of facts pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 and Local Rule 56.1. (Docs. 97, 99). This motion remains pending before the court.
The plaintiff's counsel has now moved to stay proceedings in this case, citing the fact that she is incarcerated on an unrelated civil contempt matter. (Doc. 134.) The defendant does not object to this stay, given the unusual circumstances presented here. Accordingly, the motion to stay (Doc. 134) is GRANTED. Plaintiff's counsel is ORDERED to notify the court upon her release from custody so that this stay may be lifted. In the meanwhile, the court reserves the right to file a Report and Recommendation relating to the ripe summary judgment motion, but in the event that a Report and Recommendation is filed, we will STAY objection deadlines until after the plaintiff's counsel is released from custody.
So ordered.
