Defendants.

The parties jointly move the Court to stay this matter for 60 days to allow them to

18

participate in private mediation. A district court has inherent power to control its own

19

docket “with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants.” Landis

20

v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). The Court agrees with the parties that extensions

21

of time related to the scheduling order and briefing deadlines may be warranted, but the

22

Court is not persuaded that a stay of this matter is necessary at this time. The motion is

23

DENIED.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
