Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER AND
K. YOUNG, et al.,
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff, a state prisoner is proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42
18
U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to stay this action pending his
19
transfer to another institution.
20
The United States Supreme Court has clearly indicated that “the power to stay
21
proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the
22
causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants.
23
How this can best be done calls for the exercise of judgment, which must weigh competing
24
interests and maintain an even balance.” Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254–55
25
(1936). In this regard, “the proponent of the stay bears the burden of establishing its need.”
26
Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706 (1997).
27
Plaintiff has failed to show why a stay of these proceedings is necessary. Though plaintiff
28
expresses concern about missing court orders and motions that may result in the dismissal of this
1
1
action, the record reveals no such prejudice. No dispositive motions have yet been filed in this
2
case, and this matter is still in the screening phase. In addition, plaintiff has long since been
3
transferred to the new institution.
4
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a district judge be assigned to this case; and
5
IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s motion for stay (ECF No. 9) be
6
7
denied.
These findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge
8
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days
9
after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
10
objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. The document should be captioned
11
“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the
12
objections shall be filed and served within seven days after service of the objections. The parties
13
are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may result in waiver of the
14
right to appeal the district court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 1991).
