 Defendants.

09-CV-00033-OWW-SKO

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On August 17, 2009, the Court issued a Memorandum Decision and

Order which, consistent with the terms of their arbitration

agreement, ordered Plaintiffs and Defendants to arbitrate their

disputes over the scope and validity of their arbitration

agreement. (Doc. 30.) Subsequently, Plaintiffs filed a petition

for writ of mandamus to the Ninth Circuit. On December 10, 2009,

the Ninth Circuit denied the writ “without prejudice to the filing

of a motion to reconsider with the district court in light of

Jackson v. Rent-A-Center West, Inc., 581 F.3d 912 (9th Cir. 2009),”

a new Ninth Circuit case. (Doc. 33 at 1.) Jackson was issued in

September 2009, a few weeks after the Memorandum Decision and

Order. 

On December 31, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a motion for

reconsideration in light of Jackson. (Doc. 34.) Defendants filed

an opposition (Doc. 39) to which Plaintiffs replied (Doc. 42). The

briefing on the motion focuses heavily on the Jackson decision.

reconsideration, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Jackson.

See Rent-A-Center, West, Inc. v. Jackson, 130 S. Ct. 1133 (2010).

The grant of certiorari set a briefing schedule requiring

petitioner’s opening brief to be filed on or before February 25,

2010, and respondent’s brief to be filed on or before March 25,

2010. Id. Any reply brief was ordered to be filed in accordance

with Supreme Court rules. Id. Petitioner filed a reply brief on

April 16, 2010. See 2010 WL 1554408. According to the Supreme

Court’s website, oral argument in Jackson is scheduled for April

26, 2010.

Given the status of Jackson, the parties are ordered to show

cause, in writing, by 12:00 p.m. on April 27, 2010, why the hearing

on the motion for reconsideration (currently set for May 3, 2010)

should not be continued pending the Supreme Court’s decision in

Jackson. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
