Case No.: 11-mc-80267-LHK
ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO
STAY CASE

On December 9, 2011, the parties jointly requested that the Court stay for sixty days all

18

further proceedings in this action, including any ruling on Defendant’s pending Motion to Quash

19

Subpoena Duces Tecum Under Rule 45 and for a Protective Order Under Rule 26(c), because the

20

parties wish to consider alternative resolutions to their dispute. While the Court encourages

21

alternative dispute resolution, the parties have not shown good cause for entry of a stay on all

22

proceedings in this action. The request for a stay is therefore DENIED. The parties are advised

23

that they may withdraw any pending motions and furthermore may stipulate to dismiss the matter

24

without prejudice with a tolling agreement should they wish to attempt resolution of this matter

25

without the Court’s involvement.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
