ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that conferences, disclosure requirements, and discovery, should be stayed. Furthermore, to the extent the prior order staying the case submitted by Defendants' counsel and entered by the court [#32] purports to stay the case beyond the dictates of Local Rule16(b)(3)(B), such order is amended in conformity herewith and Local Rule16(b)(3)(B). Defendants' counsel shall submit to the undersigned a proposed order lifting the stay, if necessary, within ten days of notification of the court's ruling on the underlying dispositive motion.
SO ORDERED.
