Stay of Discovery
To prevent discovery until a court has deemed a securities fraud complaint sufficient, the PSLRA also imposes a stay of all discovery "during the pendency of any motion to dismiss." This stay operates against all parties, including both plaintiffs and defendants.
The Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act amends this provision to allow a federal court to impose the discovery stay on related securities suits in state court.
