UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

LIONEL HARPER, DANIEL SINCLAIR, 

HASSAN TURNER, LUIS VAZQUEZ, and 

PEDRO ABASCAL, individually and 

on behalf of all others 

similarly situated and all 

aggrieved employees,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, LLC,

Defendant.

No. 2:19-cv-00902 WBS DMC

ORDER CONTINUING STAY

----oo0oo----

On September 16, 2022, all proceedings in this case 

were stayed pending resolution of defendant’s appeal of this

court’s denial of its motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff 

Harper’s PAGA claim. (Docket No. 311.) The parties have since

filed a stipulation requesting the court lift the stay as to 

plaintiff Sinclair’s individual claims. (Docket No. 314.) After 

the stipulation was filed, plaintiffs filed a motion to vacate

the court’s prior order compelling plaintiff Harper’s individual 

claims to arbitration and requesting the court lift the stay of 

Harper’s individual, class, and PAGA claims. (Docket No. 316.)

The power to stay proceedings “is incidental to the 

power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the 

cases on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, 

for counsel, and for litigants.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 

248, 254 (1936). This case currently has different plaintiffs 

and claims in three different stages: pending on appeal, pending 

in arbitration, or pending in this court but stayed. 

In the interest of judicial economy and effective case

management, the court in its discretion determines that it is 

appropriate to continue the stay of all proceedings in this case 

pending final adjudication of defendant’s appeal. Because the 

court extends the stay, the court declines to adopt the parties’ 

stipulation (Docket No. 311) and expresses no opinion as to 

plaintiffs’ motion to vacate (Docket No. 316). Accordingly, all 

hearing dates are hereby VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
