Case No.: 15-cv-04703-YGR

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REGARDING STAY 

PENDING APPEAL IN RELATED ACTION

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD: 

The parties are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why this case should not be stayed pending 

resolution of Appeal No. 14-16543 currently pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit Appeal”). The Ninth Circuit Appeal seeks review of this Court’s 

decision in a case related to the instant case, Case No. 4:13-cv-05528-YGR. The parties agree that 

two issues raised in the instant petition to vacate (Dkt. No. 1) are the same issues being considered in 

the Ninth Circuit Appeal (see Dkt. No. 7 at 2; Dkt. No. 11 at 2) and potentially dispositive. The Court 

is therefore inclined to stay this case pending resolution of the Ninth Circuit Appeal. 

A hearing on this Order to Show Cause shall be held on Friday, December 18, 2015 at 9:01 

a.m. in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, Courtroom 1. By December 

11, 2015, the parties shall file a JOINT STATEMENT on their respective positions regarding a stay. The 

parties shall exchange, but not file, their initial positions prior to filing the joint statement. If the 

parties timely file a joint statement, the hearing may be taken off calendar. Failure to file a joint 

statement timely may result in sanctions. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: November 19, 2015
