DETROIT — A lawyer for the Oxford School District is moving to have Geoffrey Fieger's lawsuit seeking $100 million over a deadly shooting at the district's namesake high school put on hold, saying many more lawsuits are coming and the criminal cases need to take precedence.
Attorney Tim Mullins disclosed this development at a hearing in federal court Thursday after a judge recommended a motion for a stay — or a request to temporarily halt the case — be filed.
"I think it would be prudent for a motion to file a stay," U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith said. "We have a complicated case."
