In Jane Doe et al. v. Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands et al., 23-cv-10301, Cecile de Jongh's legal counsel has requested an informal conference to discuss staying depositions. This request is made pursuant to Local Rule 37.2 and Rule 5 of the Court's Individual Practices. The proposed stay would delay depositions until 30 days after the Court rules on the pending motions to dismiss. The argument emphasizes the importance of resolving these motions first to prevent unnecessary or premature discovery efforts.

Ms. de Jongh's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 122) raises issues that mirror a previous case, Bensky v. Indyke, in which the Court granted a motion to dismiss. In that case, the Court ruled that certain claims lacked sufficient legal basis, and the defense argues this precedent strongly supports their position in the current matter. Given the similarity of legal questions and the Court’s prior ruling, the request highlights the prudence of staying depositions to ensure judicial efficiency and avoid unnecessary burdens on the parties involved.
