promote judicial efficiency and preserve the resources of the litigants without unduly prejudicing
either party’s interests. 5A Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and

22

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

23

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

24

and for litigants”).
