This matter comes before the Court on Garnishee Defendant Allied Professional

22

Insurance Company (“APIC”)’s Motion to Stay Proceedings, Dkt. #22, and the Court’s Order

23

to Show Cause, Dkt. #32. In the Court’s prior Order, the Court reviewed APIC’s Motion and

found that the attached July 28, 2017, Order from a parallel action compelled the instant parties
to go to arbitration on the underlying issues in this case. Dkt. #32. The Court stated its belief

27

that dismissal of this case without prejudice was warranted, but allowed Plaintiff an opportunity

28

to respond and show cause why dismissal was not the appropriate next step. Id. On August 7,
