Case No.: 2:17-cv-01106-GMN-PAL
STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR STAY
PENDING RULING ON MOTION FOR
PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Defendants.
Plaintiff BOMF IIIB-10NPL1 Corp. (plaintiff) and Villa del Oro Owners Association
(HOA) stipulate and agree as follows:
1.

Plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment regarding the application of

20

Bourne Valley on February 8, 2018. ECF No. 22. See also Bourne Valley Court Tr. v. Wells Fargo

21

Bank, N.A., 832 F.3d 1154 (9th Cir. 2016).

22

2.

Plaintiff's summary judgment motion raises purely legal issues concerning the

23

application of Bourne Valley that it asserts can be resolved without discovery. At a minimum, the

24

resolution of the motion could conceivably affect and provide guidance on the extent of necessary

25

discovery, if any, on all issues. If it is granted, it may result in resolution of the entire case.

26
27

3.

Federal district courts have "wide discretion in controlling discovery." Little v. City of

Seattle, 863 F.2d 681,685 (9th Cir. 1988).

44074641;1

1

4.

To determine if a stay is appropriate, the court considers (1) damage from the stay; (2)

2

hardship or inequity that befalls one party more than the other; and (3) the orderly course of justice.

3

See Dependable Highway Exp., Inc. v. Navigators Ins. Co., 498 F.3d 1059, 1066 (9th Cir. 2007)

4

(setting forth factors). Here, the factors support a stay of all proceedings except dispositive motions

5

based on Bourne Valley.

6

5.

The parties believe a stay is warranted because they will be able to avoid the cost and

7

expense of written discovery and depositions on issues that may be irrelevant based on the Bourne

8

Valley decision. Moreover, the court will be relieved of expending further time and effort considering

9

any discovery-related motions or protective orders.

6.

The parties agree there will be no significant hardship or inequity against any party, and

it is appropriate for this Court to exercise its power to grant a stay of discovery at this time.
