United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREA C. WOOD,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-07124-MMC 

ORDER STAYING PROCEEDINGS

By order filed concurrently herewith, the Court has directed plaintiff Andrea C. 

Wood ("Wood") to show cause why the complaint in above-titled action should not be 

dismissed without leave to amend. In light thereof, with the exception of the filing of 

Wood's response to the order to show cause, all proceedings in the above-titled action 

are hereby STAYED. See Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936) 

(holding "the power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court 

to control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for 

itself, for counsel, and for litigants"). In particular, pending resolution of the order to show 

cause, no motions shall be filed, including motions to dismiss, motions for sanctions, and 

motions for entry of default, and no discovery shall be sought or exchanged. Any party 

seeking leave from the stay must file an administrative motion pursuant to Civil Local 

Rule 7-11.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 8, 2019
