ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER 

STAYING DISCOVERY PENDING 

RESOLUTION OF MOTION TO DISMISS 

AS MOOT

(ECF No. 47)

Plaintiff Homer Tyrone Lewis (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 30, 2014, Defendants 

Allison, Parra and Garza filed a motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 33.)

On June 26, 2014, Defendants filed a motion for protective order seeking a stay of 

discovery as to Defendants Allison, Parra and Garza pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. 

(ECF No. 47.)

On July 29, 2014, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations on 

Defendants’ motion to dismiss, recommending partially granting the motion and dismissing the 

action as to Defendants Parra and Garza. (ECF No. 57.) 

On November 6, 2014, the District Court adopted the Findings and Recommendations 

regarding Defendants’ motion to dismiss in full and dismissed Defendants Parra and Garza from 

this action. (ECF No. 79.)

Based on resolution of Defendants’ motion to dismiss, a protective order staying 

discovery pending its resolution is no longer necessary. Accordingly, Defendants’ motion for 

protective order, filed on June 26, 2014, is DENIED as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
