REQUEST AND STIPULATION TO STAY 

THIS MATTER PENDING RESOLUTION 

OF RELATED EASTERN DISTRICT 

CASE NO. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB; 

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

The parties in the above-referenced matter, by and through their attorneys, 

hereby request and stipulate to stay this matter pending resolution of (related) Eastern 

District Case No. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB.

Plaintiffs in this action filed a special education administrative due process 

complaint against the defendants in this action with the California Office of 

Administrative Hearings (“OAH”) (OAH Case No. 2013110831). That matter proceeded 

to hearing, and a decision (the “Decision”) was issued by OAH on May 7, 2014. A copy

of this Decision has been filed by plaintiffs in this action as Docket #1-4. Plaintiff 

contends that he prevailed on a portion of the issues in Decision.

The within action was filed on June 4, 2014.

On August 5, 2014, plaintiff filed an appeal of a portion of the issues he did not 

prevail upon in the Decision. That action is currently pending in this Court and is 

identified as J.L. v. Manteca Unified School District and San Joaquin County Office of 

Education, Eastern District Case No. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB. That case involves the 

same parties as the within case. On November 18, 2014, the defendants in Case No. 

2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB filed a cross-appeal of the issues that underlie plaintiff’s fees 

request in the within action. Case No. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB is currently pending 

and has not yet been decided.

The parties agree that the issue of fees presented in this case should not be 

litigated until a decision on the appeal of the issues underlying the fee request, 

presented in Case No. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB is decided. Consequently, the parties 

request a stay of this action until completion of Case No. 2:14-cv-01842-WBS-EFB, 

pursuant to this Court’s inherent stay powers as enumerated in Landis v. North 

American Co. 299 U.S. 248, 254-255 (1936); See also, J.D. v. West-Linn Wilsonville 

School District 2013 U.S.Dist.LEXIS 110765 (D. Ore. 2013).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

Dated: January 14, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
