On April 14, 2017, the parties appeared before the Court for a telephonic

20

scheduling conference. Therein, the Court discussed the parties’ stipulation to stay the

21

instant case until the resolution of a putative class action involving identical parties, John

22

Coffee v. Saputo Cheese USA, Inc., No. 1:16-cv-01825-DAD-MJS (“Coffee I”).

23

As stated in the conference, the Court is disinclined to stay this matter indefinitely

24

pending resolution of the class action, which may remain pending for months or years.

25

Nonetheless, based on the parties’ representations that they anticipate mediation in the

26

companion Coffee I case in the coming months, the Court will approve in part the parties’

27

stipulation and grant a limited stay of this action.

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

3. No later than ten days prior to the expiration of the stay, the parties shall

other matter bearing on the stay of this action.
