United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRYANT VINEYARDS LTD,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAUREN RIDENHOUR,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-04363-EMC 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S EX 

PARTE APPLICATION TO STAY

Docket No. 46

The Winery has filed an ex parte application for a stay of this Court’s transfer order. As 

the Winery acknowledges, “where a party seeks to stay a district court proceeding pending the 

resolution of another action,” the party is asking for a Landis stay. Lal v. Capital One Fin. Corp., 

No. 16-cv-06674-BLF, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9121, at *3-4 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 23, 2017); see also 

Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248 (1936). In the exercise of its discretion, see Lockyer v. Mirant 

Corp., 398 F.3d 1098, 1109 (9th Cir. 2005) (noting that “[a] district court has discretionary power 

to stay proceedings in its own court under Landis”), the ex parte application is DENIED.

This order disposes of Docket No. 46.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 6, 2019
