Opinion
Case NO. CV412-144
06-20-2012
CHERYL HALL WOODSON, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., successor by merger of BAC HOME LOAN SERVICING, LP f/k/a Countrywide Home Loan Servicing LP, Defendant.
ORDER
Defendant Bank of America, N.A., moves to stay discovery pending resolution of its motion to dismiss. (Doc. 7.) No response to the motion to stay has been filed, so it is deemed unopposed. S.D. Ga. LR 7.5.
Having reviewed the motion to dismiss (doc. 6), the Court is satisfied that it has some heft, and its resolution "may extinguish some or all of the claims . . . potentially restricting the scope of discovery significantly." White v. Georgia, 2007 WL 3170105 at *2 (N.D. Ga. Oct. 25, 2007); see Arriaga-Zacarias v. Lewis Taylor Farms, Inc., 2008 WL 4544470 at *l-2 (M.D. Ga. Oct. 10, 2008). Consequently, defendant's motion to stay (doc. 7) is GRANTED. Should the case survive the motion to dismiss, the parties shall submit a proposed scheduling order within ten days of the Court's decision on that motion.
