ORDER
C.W. HOFFMAN, Jr., Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Perini Building Company's Emergency Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery (#42), filed December 22, 2011; Plaintiffs' Opposition (#44), filed January 5, 2012; and Defendant's Reply (#46), filed January 17, 2012. The Court conducted a hearing on this matter on January 25, 2012. Subsequent to the hearing, Judge Dawson, the assigned District Judge in this case, entered an order granting Defendant's Emergency Motion to Abstain. See Order (#25). Consequently, the Court has retained jurisdiction and stayed all further proceedings until the underlying state court action is resolved. Id. As a result, Defendant's motion to stay discovery (#42) is now moot. The Court further notes that as a result of granting the motion to abstain, Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike (#27) is also moot.
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Perini Building Company's Emergency Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery (#42) is denied as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike (#27) is denied as moot.
