ORDER

ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.

The matters before me are (1) the Unopposed Motion of Defendant Jeffory D. Shields To Stay Proceedings Due to Pending Criminal Proceedings [#64],1 filed May 22, 2014; and (2) the Unopposed Motion of Defendant Jeffory D. Shields To Modify His Unopposed Motion To Stay Proceedings Due to Pending Criminal Proceedings (ECF No. 64) [#71], filed June 6, 2014. I grant the motion to modify the original request to stay, but deny both motions as moot to the extent they request a stay of these proceedings.

The parties represent that defendant Jeffory D. Shields has entered guilty pleas to the two parallel criminal proceedings brought against him in the District Court of Douglas County, Colorado. The parties represent that the factual issues in those cases are nearly identical to those implicated by this suit, and thus bear heavily on the resolution of this matter. They therefore seek a stay of the proceedings in this case until after Mr. Shields is sentenced on August 15, 2014.

At the time the original motion was filed, this matter had been set for a scheduling conference following remand from the Tenth Circuit. (See Order Setting Scheduling/Planning Conference [#56], filed April 23, 2014.) However, the magistrate judge vacated that conference in light of the motion to stay. (See Minute Order [#70], filed June 2, 2014.) There thus is no pending deadline currently operative in this case, nor any proceeding scheduled. In light of those circumstances, no stay is necessary.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That Unopposed Motion of Defendant Jeffory D. Shields To Stay Proceedings Due to Pending Criminal Proceedings [#64], filed May 22, 2014, is DENIED AS MOOT; and

2. That the Unopposed Motion of Defendant Jeffory D. Shields To Modify His Unopposed Motion To Stay Proceedings Due to Pending Criminal Proceedings (ECF No. 64) [#71], filed June 6, 2014, is GRANTED insofar as it seeks to amend the original motion to stay, and is in all other respects, DENIED AS MOOT.
