Defendant Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (Campaign) respectfully moves that the
Court stay all discovery in this lawsuit until the Court resolves the Campaign’s pending motion
to dismiss.
In accordance with Local Civil Rule 37(E), counsel for the Campaign has conferred with
counsel for Plaintiffs in good faith in order to resolve this controversy. Counsel for Plaintiffs
have stated that Plaintiffs take the following position:
Plaintiffs oppose Defendant’s motion to stay discovery. However, as a professional courtesy in light of the upcoming initial pretrial conference, Plaintiffs do not
object to a five-day extension of the deadline under Local Rule of Civil Procedure
26(C) and paragraph III.5 of this Court’s Pretrial Schedule A (ECF No. 68-1) for
objecting to Plaintiffs’ First Set of Requests for Production, which were served on
Defendant on January 8, 2019.
