Memorandum Order Affirming Magistrate's Stay — Chambless v. Redfield

Summary

A Memorandum Order in Chambless Enterprises, LLC, et al. v. Robert Redfield, et al., Civil Action No. 3:20-cv-01455, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Monroe Division, dated June 2, 2021 and filed as Document 60. The plaintiffs appealed Magistrate Judge McClusky's April 19, 2021 order granting the defendants' motion to stay the case pending the Fifth Circuit's review of the denial of a preliminary injunction. Reviewing under the clearly erroneous and contrary to law standard, the court finds the magistrate judge's order was neither, denies the appeal and affirms the stay. A footnote states that the court would reach the same result under de novo review; the order names United States District Judge Terry A. Doughty.

MEMORANDUM ORDER 
 
 
Pending before the Court is an Appeal of Magistrate Judge Decision filed by Plaintiffs 
[Doc. No. 53].  Plaintiffs appeals Magistrate Judge McClusky’s April 19, 2021 Memorandum 
Order [Doc. No. 52] granting Defendants’ Motion to Stay these proceedings pending the Fifth

Following a review of the record, the Court finds that the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum 
Order is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to the law.1  Accordingly, 
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ appeal [Doc. No. 53] is DENIED, and Magistrate 
Judge McClusky’s Order [Doc. No. 52] is AFFIRMED.
