respective counsel of record, hereby stipulates, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(f) and Fed. R. App.

2

P. 8(a), to stay all proceedings in the above captioned matter for 180 days. The stay, however,

3

shall terminate prior to the expiration of the 180 days if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denies

4

Plaintiffs’ Petition to Appeal Class Certification Decision Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

5

Procedure 23(f), (“Plaintiffs’ Petition,” Doc. 174), which was filed on April 6, 2016; or if

6

Plaintiffs’ Petition is granted, shall terminate at such time as the appeal is decided. See Doc. 178

(receipt form the Ninth Circuit acknowledging receipt of Plaintiffs’ Petition).

8

The purpose of the stay is to promote judicial economy and allow this court to more

9

effectively control the disposition of the cases on its docket with economy of time and effort for

10

itself, for counsel, and the litigants. See Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (U.S. 1936)

11

(“the power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the

12

disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and

13

for litigants”); Pate v. DePay Orthopedics, Inc. 2012 WL 3532780, at * 2 (D. Nev. Aug. 14, 2012)

14

(“A trial court may, with propriety, find it is efficient for its own docket and the fairest course for

15

the parties to enter a stay of an action before it, pending resolution of independent proceedings

16

which bear upon the case”), citing Leyva v. Certified Grocers of Cal., Ltd. 593 F.2d 857, 863 (9th

17

Cir. 1979). Due to Plaintiffs’ Petition, issues of class certification have not been fully resolved

18

and, therefore, under this Court’s bifurcated scheduling order, discovery on the merits should not

19

yet commence. Accordingly, the Parties agree to and stipulate as follows:
1)

20

The above captioned dispute shall be stayed for a period of 180 days commencing
on April 8, 2016 and ending on October 5, 2016.

21
2)

22

If prior to October 5, 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denies Plaintiffs’
Petition the stay shall terminate on the day the denial is effective;

23
3)

24

If Plaintiffs’ Petition is granted and the appeal is decided prior to October 4, 2016,
the stay shall terminate on the day the decision is effective.

If this case is ever consolidated with any other case, this stay shall not apply to the
