Docket(#75) ORDER granting #68 Motion to Stay. The Court previously took under advisement and now GRANTS the motion to stay and thus stays this action. The Court has carefully reviewed the supplement (D. 74) as well as the motion to stay (D. 68). The Court notes that the motion to stay is unopposed. Based on the additional information provided in the supplement (D. 74) the Court finds that, after applying the necessary analysis set forth in String Cheese Incident, LLC v. Stylus Shows, Inc., No. 1:02-CV-01934-LTB-PA, 2006 WL 894955, at *2 (D. Colo. Mar. 30, 2006), a stay is appropriate. In particular, if this matter is not stayed pending resolution of both a motion to appeal and a motion to transfer, significant duplicative and expensive discovery could be required that would be inefficient for the litigants and the Court. The Court finds no prejudice to any party as a result of the stay and no detrimental effect to the public given the nature of this action, the age of the case, and a full review of the matter. The case is therefore STAYED. Within five days of a final determination of either the motion to transfer or the motion for leave to appeal, whichever comes earlier, the Parties SHALL jointly notify the Court and the stay will be reviewed at that time. The stay is specifically NOT dependent on the new EEOC filing referenced in the supplement (D. 74). So Ordered. by Magistrate Judge Gordon P. Gallagher on 11/30/21.
