vs.
MICHAEL PICKER, MIKE FLORIO, CARLA

Public Utilities Commission,
Defendants.

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER STAYING ALL DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Case No.: 2:16-cv-01848-JAM-CKD
169118488

Plaintiffs have appealed the District Court’s order denying their Motion for Preliminary

1
2

Injunction (ECF Doc. 26) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (ECF Doc. 27). The

3

parties believe that the appeal may resolve some or all of the issues to be litigated in this case and

4

that, in lieu of filing on this day the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) conference filing and Joint

5

Status Report ordered by the Court (ECF Doc. 23), it is in the best interests of the parties and the

6

courts to stay proceedings in the District Court while the appeal is pending. The parties jointly

7

stipulate that all proceedings, including any discovery, in this case should be stayed and held in

8

abeyance by the District Court pending the outcome of the appeal of the denial of the preliminary

9

injunction. Accordingly, the parties, by and through their respective undersigned counsel,

10

respectfully request the Court to stay all District Court proceedings in this matter pending decision on

11

the appeal and to sign this order.
