This case comes before the Court pursuant to L.U.CIV.R. 16(b)(3)(B). The rule provides that

[f]iling a motion to compel arbitration, or a motion asserting an immunity defense or jurisdictional defense stays the attorney conference and disclosure requirements and all discovery, pending the court's ruling on the motion, including any appeal.
