SAN FRANCISCO — A state court judge on Monday called a temporary halt to discovery in one of the lawsuits targeting the entities behind the troubled Tezos initial coin offering with claims that they sold unregistered securities.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Harold Kahn granted a motion to stay discovery brought by  California-based Dynamic Ledger Solutions, a company started by the husband and wife behind Tezos, Arthur and Kathleen Breitman. But Kahn said at a hearing Monday that the plaintiff could ask to lift the stay as the case is coordinated with another state court suit filed in San Mateo Superior Court.
