Case No. 2:14-cv-01512-LDG-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 182)

On March 31, 2016, United States District Judge Lloyd D. George granted Defendant’s motions

20 to compel arbitration and to stay proceedings in the instant matter. See Docket No. 178. Prior to that
21 order, Defendant had filed a deficient motion to seal certain documents, which the undersigned denied on
22 April 5, 2016. Docket No. 180. The undersigned ordered the parties to either file a motion to seal
23 addressing the proper standard and with appropriate declarations, or to file the documents on the public
24 docket, no later than April 15, 2016. Id.
25

The parties have now filed a joint motion for telephonic conference to address their perceived

26 conflicts in the Court’s orders. Docket No. 182. The Court can discern no conflict between an order
27 staying all substantive proceedings in this matter and an order addressing a procedural issue with the
28 Court’s docket. Further, the Court disagrees with the parties’ contention that addressing the procedural

1 issues of sealing documents or filing them on the public docket, and of granting leave to file excess pages,
2 somehow violates the Court’s stay of all substantive proceedings. Accordingly, the parties’ joint motion
3 for telephonic hearing is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
