UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In their joint scheduling conference statement, counsel reported disagreement whether another 

case, Mouzon, et al., v. Radiancy, Inc., et al., case number 1:15-cv-1142 CKK, proceeding in the 

District of Columbia provides reason for the current matter to be stayed. (Doc. 19) The parties 

disagree that the matters involve substantially similar parties or substantially similar issues. Id. at 2-5. 

They agree that the current iteration of the Mouzon matter was filed after this current matter but 

disagree whether its predecessor was filed before the Cantley matter. Rather than risk the waste of 

limited judicial resources, the Court will require the parties to brief the matter as to whether the instant 

matter should be stayed, dismissed or transferred to the District of Columbia. Thus, the Court 

ORDERS:

1. No later than March 11, 2016, Defendants SHALL file their motion to stay, dismiss 

or transfer the matter;

2. No later than April 8, 2016, Plaintiff SHALL file her opposition to the motion;

APRIL CANTLEY,

 Plaintiff,

v.

RADIANCY, INC, et al.,

Defendants.
