On June 14, 2016, I ordered the parties to file a joint or separate briefs about whether this
12
case should be stayed pending an answer from the Supreme Court of Nevada on the certified
13
question in Nalder v. United Automobile Ins. Co., Ninth Cir. Case No. 13-17441. ECF No. 223.
14
The parties submitted separate briefs despite the fact that both parties agree that this case should
15
be stayed. ECF Nos. 223, 224.1 Regardless, both parties agree that staying this case would
16
conserve the resources of the court and the parties. I will stay this case. The parties are free to
17
continue their settlement discussions and resolve this matter.
18
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this case is stayed pending an answer from the
19
Supreme Court of Nevada on the certified question in Nalder. The parties shall notify the court
20
within 10 days of the Supreme Court issuing its decision.

I do not understand why the parties could not file a joint brief, or why Century Surety Company
felt the need to file an 11 page brief to say “yes.”
