In the motion, Defendants Kevin Blasingame, Nadine Dauman, Kristopher Donahey, Shawn Evans, Joselin Frias, Jake Montgomery, Darrin Parr, Joel Perez, Sterling Rochester, and Joseph Smith (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Individual Defendants") request that all discovery in this case be stayed pursuant to Carswell v.
