Papetti v. DICOM Grid: Discovery Stay Granted, 13th Mar

The US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina granted the parties' joint motion to stay discovery pending resolution of Defendants' motion to dismiss (Docket No. 5:25-cv-00634). The court found good cause under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) to postpone the scheduling order and discovery because the dispositive motion may resolve or narrow the case, making discovery unnecessary. If the motion to dismiss is denied, the parties must submit a new Rule 26(f) report within 14 days of the order denying the motion.
