Plaintiff,
ORDER
(Mot Stay – ECF No. 60)
(Mot Stay – ECF No. 67)
BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, et al.,
Defendants.

Before the court is First American Title Insurance Company, First American Title
13
Company, erroneously sued and sued as First American Title, First American National Default
14
Title Services, First American Title Loss Mitigation Title Services – Lmts, and First American
15
Trustee Servicing Solutions’, erroneously sued and served as Trustee Servicing Solutions’ Motion
16
to Stay Litigation Pending Resolution of Their Motion to Dismiss [Doc. 19] (ECF No. 60)., and
17
Defendant Southern Highlands Community Association’s Motion to Stay Litigation Pending of its
18
Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 6] (ECF No. 67). Joinders (ECF Nos. 66, 72) were filed on April 14,
19
2017, and May 4, 2017. No oppositions to the motions to stay have been filed, and the time for
20
filing oppositions has expired.
21
In a related case filed by Plaintiff, Agha-Khan v. Wells Fargo Bank et al, 2:16-cv-2928, the
22
court held a hearing on April 3, 2017. See Minutes (ECF No 75). The court granted a joint motion
23
to stay discovery, temporarily staying discovery, but requiring the parties to conduct a Rule 26(f)
24
conference, and directing that the stay would remain in effect until all parties had made an
25
appearance and the district judge decides pending motion to dismiss, whichever occurs first.
26
Both cases involve a 2012 HOA foreclosure sale of the same real property. The moving
27
defendants in this case argue that a decision of the motions to dismiss will promote justice and
28
1
1
prevent prejudice to any party, and will curb unnecessary fees and costs while the motions to
2
dismiss are pending.
3
LR 7-2(d) states, in pertinent part, that the “failure of an opposing party to file points and
4
authorities in response to any motion . . . constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion.” The
5
court has taken a “preliminary peek” at the pending motions to dismiss and plaintiff’s responses
6
and finds that the interests of Fed. R. Civ. P 1 will best be served by a stay until the pending
7
motions to dismiss are decided.
8
Having reviewed and considered the motions,
9
IT IS ORDERED:
10
11
1.
The Motions to Stay Litigation Pending Resolution of the Motion to Dismiss (ECF
Nos. 60, 67) are Granted.
12
2. The parties shall have 14 days from decision of the last decided motion to dismiss to
13
meet and confer and conduct a Rule 26(f) conference and submit a proposed discovery
14
plan and scheduling order as to any claim(s) that survive.
