SOUTHEASTERN NEWSPAPER COMPANY, LLC v. HOLDER (S.D.Ga. 5-3-2011)

On February 11, 2011, the Court granted a joint motion to stay these proceedings pending the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Karantsalis v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, No. 10-10229. (See Doc. no. 7.) The Eleventh Circuit has since reached a decision in Karantsalis, but the plaintiff in that case has now filed a Petition for En Banc Rehearing. Consequently, the parties have filed a consent motion to continue to stay these proceedings until Karantsalis is fully resolved. (Doc. no. 16.)

Upon due consideration, the parties' motion is GRANTED and this case shall remain STAYED until the Eleventh Circuit resolvesKarantsalis. When that time comes, the parties SHALL notify the Court within fourteen (14) days by filing a motion to lift the stay and a proposed joint scheduling order that sets forth a timeline for the remainder of the case.

ORDER ENTERED at Augusta, Georgia.
