Current as of January 01, 2026 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(A)(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a motion for expedited relief is filed under section 2747.02 of the Revised Code, the court shall stay all other proceedings in the action between the moving party and responding party, including discovery and any other pending hearing or motion.

(2) Upon request by the moving party, the court may stay a hearing or motion involving another party in the action, or discovery by another party, if the hearing or ruling on the motion would adjudicate, or the discovery would relate to, an issue material to the motion for expedited relief.

(B) A stay under division (A) of this section remains in effect until thirty days after the entry of a ruling on the motion for expedited relief or upon the conclusion of an appeal of the ruling, whichever is later.  During such an appeal, all proceedings between all parties in the action are stayed.

(C) During a stay under division (A) of this section, the court may allow limited discovery if the party seeking discovery shows that specific information is necessary to establish whether a party has satisfied a burden under section 2747.04 of the Revised Code and the information cannot be obtained unless discovery is allowed.

(D) A motion under section 2747.05 of the Revised Code for attorney's fees, court costs, and other litigation expenses is not subject to a stay under this section.

(E) A stay under this section does not affect a party's ability to voluntarily dismiss a cause of action or move to sever a cause of action for a separate trial.

(F) During a stay under this section, the court for good cause may hear and rule on either of the following:

(1) A motion unrelated to the motion for expedited relief;

(2) A motion seeking a temporary or preliminary injunction to protect against an imminent threat to public health or safety.
