Case No. 13cv0201-GPC-JMA

ORDER GRANTING

DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST TO

EXTEND STAY

[Dkt. No. 38.]

On September 26, 2014, this Court stayed the above-captioned matter pending

the Supreme Court’s determination of whether to grant the government’s petition for

certiorari in Din v. Kerry, 718 F.3d 856 (9th Cir. 2013). On October 9, 2014,

Defendants filed a status report confirming that the Supreme Court has granted the

petition for certiorari in Din. (Dkt. No. 38 at 2.) Defendants request a stay of the

present matter “until 30 days after the Supreme Court issues a decision in Din.” (Dkt.

No. 38 at 3.) Defendants state that Plaintiffs have confirmed that they do not oppose

this request. (Id. at 2.)

Again weighing the interests of the Court in judicial economy; the burdens and

interest of the Parties; and the duration of the requested stay, the Court hereby

GRANTS Defendants’ request to extend the stay until the Supreme Court issues its

decision in Din. See Leyva v. Certified Grocers of California, Ltd., 593 F.2d 857, 863

(9th Cir. 1979) (concluding “a trial court may, with propriety, find it is efficient for its

own docket and the fairest course for the parties to enter a stay of an action before it,

pending resolution of independent proceedings which bear upon the case.”). In

particular, the Court recognizes that Plaintiffs do not oppose the request to stay this

matter, and that the two central questions in Din directly affect the resolution of the

present case. (See Dkt. No. 38 at 2) (citing Dkt. No. 35-1, Petition for a Writ of

Certiorari). 

Accordingly, the Court hereby STAYS the present case until the Supreme

Court’s ruling in Din v. Kerry. Defendants shall file a status report attaching the

Supreme Court’s opinion no later than fourteen (14) days after the Supreme Court’s

resolution of the petition for certiorari in Din. The status report shall set forth

Defendants’ proposed deadline for filing a dispositive motion in this case; Plaintiffs

shall have two days following the filing of Defendants’ status report to file objections

to the proposed deadline or notice of non-opposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 10, 2014
