| 2018-01-16 | 11 | ORDER : The parties' have jointly moved for a stay of these proceedings to allow Plaintiff to refile and pursue a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request. The parties anticipate that Plaintiff will secure the information he is seeking via this course of action. Accordingly, the parties seek to stay this matter to promote judicial efficiency. The Court considers several factors to determine whether a discretionary stay is appropriate, including: whether a stay will unduly disadvantage the non-movant; whether a stay will streamline and simplify matters for trial; and, whether a stay will reduce the burden of litigation on the parties and the Court. See e.g. Landis v. North American Co., 57 S.Ct. 163 (1936). Here, a stay would not unduly prejudice either side, and it may eliminate the need for litigation entirely. The parties' joint request for a stay (Doc. 10 ) is hereby GRANTED. A status report shall be filed with the Court by Monday, March 19, 2018. Signed by Chief Judge Michael J. Reagan on 1/16/2018.
