ORDER STAYING CASE

economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for 

litigants.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). 

Notwithstanding any other recent orders, the court in 

its discretion determines that a stay is appropriate at this 

time. Accordingly, all proceedings in this case are hereby 

STAYED pending final adjudication of defendant’s appeal, and all 

hearing dates are hereby VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
