Order on Motion to Stay
Tue 03/04 4:14 PM
MEMORANDUM & ORDER granting (109) Motion to Stay in case 1:24-cv-10049-LJL. Consolidated Defendant The New York Times Company ("NY Times") moves, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), for a stay of discovery as it relates to the NY Times pending a decision on its motion to dismiss. Dkt. No. 109. The motion is granted. As further set forth in this Order. Those issues will invariably be affected by the Court's decision on the motion to dismiss. Finally, the Wayfarer Parties are unlikely to be unfairly prejudiced by a stay while the Court decides the pending motion. The NY Times did not delay filing its motion; it filed the motion within 21 days of being served. The Court intends to address the motion to dismiss promptly after it is fully submitted. To the extent that the Wayfarer Parties are concerned about delay, they have it within their power to accelerate their contemplated further amended complaint or their opposition to the motion to dismiss. The Wayfarer Parties themselves suggest that discovery from the NY Times is unlikely to be voluminous. Dkt. No. 117 at 2. To the extent discovery is sought from the NY Times as a defendant, it can be requested if and when the Court denies the pending motion to dismiss. In the meantime, it is evident that the parties will be busy with document discovery from the other parties and with third party discovery. Depositions are not anticipated to begin soon. The Court hopes to decide the motion well before they do begin. The motion to stay discovery as it relates to the NY Times is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close Dkt. No. 109. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 3/4/2025) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:24-cv-10049-LJL, 1:25-cv-00449-LJL (ks) Modified on 3/4/2025 (ks) |
