April 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 25 ORAL ORDER granting in part and denying in part #21 the parties' joint motion to stay the initial discovery and litigation deadlines as outlined in the Case Management Report pending a ruling on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss. As the Undersigned stated during the 4/14/2021 Preliminary Pretrial Conference, the motion is granted insofar as the Court will set extended deadlines for a date certain in the Case Management and Scheduling Order for the parties to exchange initial disclosures and to file motions to add parties or to amend pleadings. The extended deadline will take into account a reasonable time for the presiding United States District Judge to rule on the pending Motion to Dismiss (Doc. #8 ), which is fully briefed. The motion is denied without prejudice to the extent it seeks any greater or different relief. If necessary, the parties may file a second motion to extend these deadlines further if the Motion to Dismiss is not fully resolved before the deadlines expire. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mac R.
