JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO STAY DISCOVERY PENDING COURT'S RULING ON DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO REVOKE PLAINTIFF'S IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.

Plaintiff Miles Bonty and Defendants Lott, Kumar, Gamboa, Bourne, Lewis, Bright, Gates, and Murillo, through their counsel, met and conferred, and stipulate to stay all discovery in this case until the Court issues its order deciding Defendants' motion to revoke Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status, which was filed on July 3, 2018. Discovery under this stipulation includes, but is not limited to, interrogatories, requests for production of documents, requests for admission, and depositions propounded under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and all discovery-related motions. The stay of discovery also includes discussions about any discovery disputes and previous discovery requests in this case. The parties further agree to meet and confer after the Court issues the order deciding Defendants' three-strikes motion and resume any discovery-related discussions, if necessary. In the event the Court denies Defendants' motion, the parties agree Defendants have 30 days from the date of the Court's order to respond to any pending discovery requests.

The parties so stipulate.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The parties have stipulated to stay discovery until Defendants' motion to revoke Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status is resolved. Accordingly, discovery is STAYED until the motion is ruled upon. The stay will automatically be lifted upon resolution of the motion without further order of the Court, provided Plaintiff the case is not dismissed in its entirety. In the event the Court denies Defendants' motion, the parties agreed Defendants have 30 days from the Court's order denying the motion to respond to any pending discovery requests.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
