ORDER - Third-Party Defendant American Industrial Brands, LLC ("AIB") has filed a Motion to Stay Discovery, [Filing No. 26], served on it by Cross Claimant / Third Party Defendant Lewis Dellinger. AIB asks the Court to stay this discovery until the Court rules on AIB's pending Motion to Dismiss. Mr. Dellinger has not responded to AIB's Motion to Stay Discovery.
