October 5, 2018 Filing 19 RESPONSE by Plaintiff Robert L. Preston re #13 MOTION for Judgment on the Pleadings (Vrana, Nicholas)
October 3, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER granting as unopposed Defendants' #15 Motion to Stay Discovery. The three individual Defendants in this action have asserted qualified immunity in the pending #13 Defendants' Motion for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings. The Supreme Court has made it clear that until the threshold question of immunity is resolved, discovery should not be allowed. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982). The Court finds a stay of discovery to be appropriate, given the immunity issues raised in the pending Motion for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings. All Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a) and (f) obligations and pretrial proceedings, including the October 16, 2018 telephone Scheduling Conference, are hereby stayed until the presiding District Judge rules on #13 Defendants' Motion for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings. In the event any of Plaintiff's claims survive after the Court rules on the motion, counsel for Defendants shall contact chambers of the undersigned Magistrate Judge for the purpose of reconvening the scheduling conference. Signed by Magistrate Judge Teresa J. James on 10/3/2018. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (ts)
