ORDER SUA SPONTE LIFTING STAY;
DIRECTING PARTIES TO MEET AND
CONFER REGARDING FURTHER CASE
MANAGEMENT; AND SETTING THIS
CASE FOR A FURTHER CASE
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE ON
SEPTEMBER 9, 2011 AT 3:00 PM

13
14

In an order filed January 29, 2009, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to stay all further

15

proceedings in this action until the California Supreme Court’s decision in Brinker Restaurant

16

Corporation v. Superior Court of San Diego County, 80 Cal. Rptr. 3d 781 (2008), pet. for review

17

granted (Oct. 22, 2008). The Court finds it appropriate to sua sponte lift the stay because Brinker is still

18

pending before the California Supreme Court, and a decision does not appear forthcoming in the near

19

future as the Court has not yet held oral argument in that case.

20

The Court directs the parties to meet and confer regarding the resumption of this litigation, and

21

to file a joint case management conference statement by September 2, 2011. The Court will hold a case

22

management conference on September 9, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
