----oo0oo----

Defendant Steve J. Stump has appealed this court’s 

denial of its motion for summary judgment on the sole remaining 

constitutional claim, and now moves to stay the remaining state 

law claim pending resolution of that appeal. (See Docket Nos.

113, 114, 117). Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to the 

motion.

A federal court can stay a proceeding pending the 

outcome of an appeal. See Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 421 

(2009). The power to stay proceedings “is incidental to the 

power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the 

cases on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, 

for counsel, and for litigants.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 

248, 254 (1936). 

The court in its discretion determines that a stay is 

appropriate. Accordingly, this case is STAYED pending resolution 

of defendant’s appeal. All hearing dates in this case are hereby 

VACATED. The parties shall file a joint status report within 14 

days after the Ninth Circuit issues a decision in the appeal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13, 2023
