Case No. 2:17-cv-01260-APG-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 25)

16

Pending before the Court is an ex parte motion to resolve Defendant’s motion for stay on an

17

expedited basis. Docket No. 25. As a threshold matter, the Court finds that sufficient grounds for

18

failing to give notice of the motion to Plaintiff were not articulated. Defendant shall serve a copy of its

19

ex parte motion on Plaintiff, and shall file a proof of service by July 11, 2017.

20

As to the merits of the ex parte motion, Defendant contends that its motion to stay must be

21

resolved on an expedited basis because the summary judgment motion in this case may be decided first

22

and/or the parties may engage in discovery. Docket No. 25 at 5-6. Especially since neither of those

23

actions is imminent, the Court disagrees that there is a threat of irreparable harm to Defendant should

24

the motion not be considered on an expedited basis. Nonetheless, the Court will order this matter

25

briefed on shortened time to avoid any potential complications with proceedings in this Court and in the

26

state court while the motion to stay is pending. Accordingly, any response to the motion to stay shall

27

be filed by July 12, 2017, and any reply shall be filed by July 14, 2017.

28

1

Lastly, as of the drafting of this order, Defendant has not submitted courtesy copies of its recent

2

filings. No later than noon on July 10, 2017, Defendant shall submit courtesy copies of Docket Nos. 23

3

and 24 directly to the undersigned’s box in the Clerk’s Office.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
