THIS MATTER is before this Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss and Alternative
Motions to Transfer or Stay. It appears to the Court that the instant dispute arises out of the
same contractual agreement at issue in the matter of Azco Corp. v. Diagnostic Devices, Inc.,

Court on June 8, 2012 by Diagnostic Devices, and subsequently removed to this Court by Azco

in the New Jersey Action.
In the interest of judicial economy, this Court ORDERS the instant action STAYED
pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss in the New Jersey Action. Within 14 days of the
