A district court has the inherent power to stay proceedings “incidental to the power inherent in every court to
control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for
litigants.” Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936); see also Gold v. Johns-Manville Sales Corp.,
723 F.2d 1068, 1077 (3d Cir.1983) (holding that the power to stay proceedings comes from the power of every court
to manage the cases on its docket and to ensure a fair and efficient adjudication of the matter at hand).
