Bloomfield v. Liggett & Myers, Inc.

Bell, Chief Judge.

Plaintiff sued the defendants in the Superior Court of Fulton County for money damages and declaratory relief. On defendants’ motion, the proceedings were stayed pending the determination of a suit previously filed by defendants against plaintiff in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Defendants’ motion was supported by a copy of its complaint filed in the New York suit. Plaintiffs claim in this case does arise out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the defendants’ suit against the plaintiff in the Federal Court.
