ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS TO STAY

Plaintiff seeks a stay of the Court's orders overruling his objections to Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe's Minute Orders pending the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.1 (Doc. ## 97; 98.)

In determining whether to grant a stay pending appeal, a court must consider the following factors: "(1) the likelihood that the party seeking the stay will prevail on the merits of the appeal; (2) the likelihood that the moving party will suffer irreparable injury unless the stay is granted; (3) whether granting the stay will result in substantial harm to the other parties to the appeal; and (4) the effect of granting the stay upon the public interest." In re Lang, 414 F.3d 1191, 1201 (10th Cir. 2005).

In this case, the Court found that Plaintiff had not established a sufficient likelihood of success on the merits of his appeal because Rule 26 allows a court to set the date by which a party must make the initial disclosures. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(C). Thus, it is extremely unlikely that the United States Supreme Court would grant a Writ of Certiorari. Additionally, Plaintiff will not suffer irreparable injury if the stay is denied. Therefore, it is

ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motions to Stay (Doc. ## 97; 98) are DENIED.
