ORDER RE BRIEFING OF TOLLING
AND COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL
ISSUES
Re: Dkt. Nos. 31, 32

21
22

The Court has received and considered the parties’ February 19, 2016 briefs in Canaday v.

23

Comcast Corp., 15-cv-04648-JSW. Defendants propose that the tolling and collateral estoppel

24

questions in Canaday and these related cases be presented in a single motion for judgment on the

25

pleadings by Defendants. Plaintiffs agree that it is unlikely that a decision in Anderson v.

26

Michaels Stores, Inc., Ninth Circuit No. 14-56726, will be fully dispositive of the tolling issue

27

presented in these related cases. Accordingly, the Court will not stay consideration of the tolling

28

and collateral estoppel issues pending a decision in Anderson. Defendants may file a single
