UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REBECCA MALLORY,

Plaintiff,

v.

ODYSSEY HEALTHCARE OPERATING A, 

L.P.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:19-cv-01624-DAD-JLT

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION TO 

STAY THE ACTION

(Doc. 16)

About two weeks after the Court scheduled the case (Doc. 14), the parties filed this 

stipulation to stay the action to allow them to engage in private mediation. (Doc. 16) In the 

stipulation, they do not explain when the mediation will occur. Id. They ask only that the stay 

be lifted 14 days after they complete mediation and any negotiations that may occur afterward. 

Id. Thus, the Court has no information as to how long the stay will be in effect and, indeed, 

the obligation to report back to the Court is triggered only after the parties stop all efforts to 

negotiate a settlement. This inexactitude is insufficient. Thus, the stipulation is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
