Plaintiffs have appealed the District Court’s order denying their Motion for Preliminary 

Injunction (ECF Doc. 26) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (ECF Doc. 27). The 

parties believe that the appeal may resolve some or all of the issues to be litigated in this case and 

that, in lieu of filing on this day the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) conference filing and Joint 

Status Report ordered by the Court (ECF Doc. 23), it is in the best interests of the parties and the 

courts to stay proceedings in the District Court while the appeal is pending. The parties jointly 

stipulate that all proceedings, including any discovery, in this case should be stayed and held in 

abeyance by the District Court pending the outcome of the appeal of the denial of the preliminary 

injunction. Accordingly, the parties, by and through their respective undersigned counsel, 

respectfully request the Court to stay all District Court proceedings in this matter pending decision on 

the appeal and to sign this order.
