Filing 152
PAPERLESS ORDER granting #151 Motion for Clarification. Defendants raise so many questions, it appears the more prudent course is to set this and the related case, No. 25-24863-Civ, for a status conference. Defendants are directed to coordinate with counsel in this and the related action and contact the Courtroom Deputy to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for the conference. In the meantime, the Court can say that document discovery should proceed so long as the documents do not reveal investigative steps taken in the criminal investigation, and the deadlines set out in any Scheduling Order are stayed. Questions regarding discovery and any discovery disputes are to be handled in the manner described in the Scheduling Order -- by contacting Magistrate Judge Reid. The Court will not entertain motions directed to the pleadings at this time. Signed by Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga (CMA)

Filing 84
PAPERLESS ORDER denying #79 Motion to Stay Discovery. As the Court understands it, the reason Plaintiffs are amending their initial Complaint is to add Defendants, not to cure a defective pleading. That amended pleading, and new Defendants, are due tomorrow. Defendants will have the opportunity of filing a combined motion to dismiss the amended complaint. If the Court finds arguments raised in that as-yet-to-be-filed motion will likely dispose of the entire case, one premised on allegations of price fixing by Defendants in violation of the federal antitrust laws, then Defendants may renew their motion to stay discovery at that time. But motions to stay discovery are generally disfavored, and the Court sees no reason to impose a blanket stay of discovery on the present record. Certainly the parties are encouraged to resolve any discovery disputes and to seek prompt resolution before the Magistrate Judge where they are unable to work out the issues. Signed by Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga (CMA)
