 (Derivative Action)

 ORDER DENYING JOINT MOTION

TO STAY CONSOLIDATED

DERIVATIVE ACTION

 [Docket No. 10]

The parties have filed a Joint Motion to Stay this case until the Court rules on 

anticipated motions to dismiss in a related Securities Class Action, Eng v. Edison 

International, Case No. 15cv1478. The parties specifically request this stay extend 

until the Court denies or grants the anticipated motions to dismiss with prejudice and 

without leave to amend.

The Court declines to issue the stay. “[T]he 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.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). Assuming motions to 

dismiss are filed in the Securities Class Action, those motions will not be heard until 

March 7, 2016. In addition, if those motions are granted with leave to amend, as is 

often the case, the stay would be extended even further for briefing on motions to

dismiss an amended complaint that would likely follow. This case would potentially 

be pending for a year before making any progress toward its resolution. 

The Joint Motion to Stay is DENIED. Defendants shall respond to the 

Consolidated Derivative Complaint within 30 days of the filing of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
