No. C 15-01078 JSW

ORDER STAYING MATTER

PENDING APPEAL

On June 2, 2015, Petitioners filed a notice of appeal of this Court’s order denying the

motion to compel individual arbitration. “Once a notice of appeal is filed, the district court is

divested of jurisdiction over the matter being appealed.” Natural Resources Defense Council,

Inc. v. Southwest Marine Inc., 242 F.3d 1163, 1166 (9th Cir. 2001) (citing Griggs v. Provident

Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982) (per curiam); McClatchy Newspapers v.

Central Valley Typographical Union No. 46, 686 F.2d 731, 734 (9th Cir. 1982)). This rule “is

designed to avoid the confusion and inefficiency of two courts considering the same issues

simultaneously.” Masalosalo by Masalosalo v. Stonewall Ins. Co., 718 F.2d 955, 956 (9th Cir.
