Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and Plaintiff’s Motion to

14

Remand. Dkt. Nos. 6, 32. As the jurisdictional issue addressed in Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand is

15

currently under consideration by the Ninth Circuit in an appeal entitled Rouse v. Wachovia Bank,

16

FSB, Ninth Circuit Docket No. 12-55278, the Court finds it appropriate to stay any decision pending

17

the outcome of Rouse. Accordingly, the Court VACATES the November 21, 2013 hearing on both

18

motions. The parties shall file a joint status report within 30 days of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling in

19

Rouse. This stay does not affect any mediation deadlines in this case.

20

IT IS SO ORDERED.
