O R D E R

Bunzl Processor Distribution, LLC moves to stay this
appeal pending proceedings in related district court

BUNZL PROCESSOR v. KAPPOS

2

proceedings Bettcher Industries, Inc. opposes. Bunzl

replies.

The power of the Court to stay proceedings is inciden-
tal to its inherent power to control the disposition of the
cases on its docket. See Landis v. North Am. Co., 299 U.S.
248, 254 (1936). Here, we cannot say Bunzl has shown
that staying proceedings for such a lengthy period of time

is warranted
Accordingly,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:

The motion is denied.
