ORDER DENYING
MOTION FOR STAY

Defendants.

Spotify moves to stay the action pending a resolution of its appeal of the order denying

19

its motion to compel arbitration. Plaintiffs were unwilling to stipulate to that request. Any

20

discovery taken in this action would also be useful in arbitration, so there is not good cause to

21

stay the action. Accordingly, Spotify’s motion is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
