On January 29, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the Court enter a stay of

18 issue in a separate Fresno County Superior Court case which will impact the proceedings in this
19 case.

Having reviewed the parties' stipulation, the Court grants the request to suspend further

21 litigation in this matter until the Fresno County Superior Court determines plaintiff Dominic
22 Hanna’s mental competence.
23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

This litigation is STAYED until the Fresno County Superior Court renders a

25 determination as to Plaintiff Hanna's competence;

Within five (5) days of the Fresno County Superior Court’s determination of
