UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MYKAL RYAN,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 11cv685 BEN (CAB)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

vs. STAY

MARY T. MORGAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Pro se Plaintiff Mykal Ryan has filed a motion that the Court will construe as a motion to stay

the case. (Doc. No. 17.) The trial court has inherent authority to control its own docket and calendar,

including the issuance of a stay when appropriate. Landis v. N. American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254

(1936). The party seeking the stay bears the burden of establishing the need for it. Clinton v. Jones,

520 U.S. 681, 708 (1997). Plaintiff has not demonstrated why the Court should stay the case. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED. 

The Court will, however, extend the time for Plaintiff to file an opposition to Defendant’s

pending motion to dismiss. Plaintiff must file his opposition or statement of non-opposition on or

before May 27, 2011. Plaintiff’s failure to file an opposition by May 27, 2011 will be considered a

consent to the granting of the motion under Civil Local Rule 7.1(f)(3)(c). Defendant’s Reply must be

filed on or before June 6, 2011 and the hearing on Defendant’s motion is continued to June 13, 2011

at 10:30 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 16, 2011
