UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 29, 2013, the Court entered a stay in this action pending resolution of the motion for 

class certification in Soto v. Castlerock, Case No. 1:09-0701-AWI-JLT. (Doc. 29.) On January 16, 

2014, the Court issued its order denying the motion for class certification in Soto. In light of the 

resolution of the motion for class certification, Plaintiffs now seek to lift the stay. (Doc. 31.) 

Defendants report that they do not oppose Plaintiff’s motion to lift the stay. (Doc. 34 at 2.) However, 

there is significant disagreement as to how the case should proceed once the stay is lifted. However, 

these issues are best addressed at a scheduling conference once the parties have met and conferred.

Because the parties agree it is appropriate for the stay to be lifted, the Court finds the matter 

suitable for decision without oral arguments pursuant to Local Rule 230(g). Accordingly, IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The hearing date of May 7, 2014 is VACATED; 

MARIA MORENO, et al.,

 Plaintiffs,

v.

CASTLEROCK FARMING AND 

TRANSPORT, INC., et al. 

Defendants.
