IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

K.S., a minor, by and through her parents, P.S. 

and M.S.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

FREMONT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-07218 SI

ORDER VACATING TERMINATION

ORDER

Plaintiffs have filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider its order terminating this action.

The motion is scheduled for hearing on July 18, 2008. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court

finds this matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument, and hereby VACATES the hearing.

On February 22, 2008, this Court granted in part and denied in part the parties’ cross-motions

for summary judgment, remanding the case to the office of administrative hearings for reconsideration

in light of the Court’s order. The Court then terminated the case. Plaintiffs now ask the Court to

reconsider the termination pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a). The Court agrees with

plaintiffs that the proper course was to stay proceedings rather than dismiss the case. See Shapiro v.

Paradise Valley Unified Sch. Dist. No. 69, 152 F.3d 1159, 1160 (9th Cir. 1998) (“The rule in this Circuit

is that where a court suspends proceedings in order to give preliminary deference to an independent

adjudicating body but further judicial proceedings are contemplated, then jurisdiction should be retained

by a stay of proceedings, not relinquished by a dismissal.”) (internal quotation marks omitted).

Therefore, the Court hereby VACATES its order terminating this action. The action is STAYED
