`CITY OF SANTA FE,
`

`
`
`
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`ORDER FINDING GOOD CAUSE TO DELAY ENTRY OF
`RULE 16 SCHEDULING ORDER AND STAYING DISCOVERY
`
`
`
`THIS MATTER comes before the Court following a telephonic status conference held
`
`on November 16, 2017. During the conference, the parties and the Court discussed the Court’s
`
`obligation to enter a scheduling order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 or find good
`
`cause to delay entry of such an order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(2) (requiring the Court to “issue
`
`the scheduling order as soon as is practicable, but unless the judge finds good cause for delay,
`
`the judge must issue it within the earlier of 90 days after any defendant has been served with the
`
`complaint or 60 days after any defendant has appeared”). After hearing from the parties and in
`
`light of the pending motions requesting various forms of dispositive and related relief, the Court
`
`found good cause to delay entering a scheduling order and granted the parties’ oral motion to
`
`stay discovery pending resolution of the motions.
`
`
`
`IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that good cause exists to delay entering a Rule 16
`
`scheduling order for the reasons stated on the record. The Court shall not issue a scheduling
`
`order until resolution of the pending motions.

`
`
`
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the parties’ oral motion to stay discovery is GRANTED
`
`and discovery in this matter is STAYED pending resolution of the pending motions.
