Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 179 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/06/2012 Page 1 of 5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2 v.

Denying the stay would allow the limited discovery that the Court has previously authorized to move forward in this case, putting the case on a path toward final resolution.
