UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAKINA ORTEGA, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 13cv87-LAB (JMA)

ORDER STAYING

PROCEEDINGS PENDING

APPEAL

vs.

SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT, et

al.,

Defendants.

On November 19, 2014, Defendant Jonathan McCarthy filed a Notice of Interlocutory

Appeal, appealing this Court’s November 14, 2014 denial in part of summary judgment. 

A district court may stay the action under its inherent powers to control its own docket

and to provide efficient adjudication of the cases pending before it. Leyva v. Certified

Grocers of California, Ltd., 593 F.2d 857, 863 (9th Cir. 1979). A stay pending the outcome

of the appeal will likely conserve judicial resources and promote judicial consistency. See

Lockyer v. Mirant Corp., 398 F.3d 1098, 1112 (9th Cir. 2005) (recognizing the district court’s

ability to control its own docket, “particularly in this time of scarce judicial resources and

crowded dockets”).
