ORDER

Before the court are the Defendants' Motions to Stay Discovery (docs. #58 and 62)

and Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Discovery and to Award Reasonable Costs and

Expenses (doc. #63). The Defendants' motions request a stay of discovery until

determination of the pending motions to dismiss. Though the time for plaintiff to respond

to the motions has not expired, the court will consider the motions summarily because, in

the nature of the motions, they argue for the justification for delaying discovery until

determination of whether this case is properly brought in this court. Because there is

serious question as to whether this action is properly brought in this court, the court will

summarily grant the motions. The court contemplates ruling promptly on the pending

motions to dismiss. For the same reason, Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Discovery will be

denied without prejudice to refiling if the motions to dismiss are denied.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Defendants' Motions to Stay Discovery

(doc. #58 and 62) are granted.
