1 || September 16, 2025 session, but agreed that they should reconvene at a later date for a further 2 || mediation session. That session is scheduled to go forward on October 30, 2025. 3 Accordingly, the Parties request an extension of the Stay (ECF No. 12) from September 4 || 30, 2025, up to and including, November 14, 2025. 5 The purpose of this stipulation is to promote judicial economy and permit this Court to 6 || effectively control the disposition of cases on its docket with economy of time and effort for 7 || itself, counsel, and the litigants. See Landis v. N. Am. Co.,

299 U.S. 248, 254

(1936) (“[T]he 8 power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the ? dispositions of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, i 10 and for litigants.”); Pate v. DePay Orthopedics, Inc., No. 2:12-cv-01168-MMD-CWH,

Aug. 14, 2012) (“A trial court may, with propriety, find it is efficient for its own docket and the fairest course for the parties to enter a stay of an action before it, pending 4 5 14 resolution of independent proceedings which bear upon the case.”) (internal citations omitted). be : 3 In evaluating whether to stay proceedings, the Court considers the competing interests of the 6 parties and of the Court, including “‘possible damage which may result in granting the stay, the eS 7 hardship or inequity which a party may suffer in being required to go forward, and the orderly 1g. || course of justice measured in terms of simplifying or complicating of issues, proof, and questions 19 of law which could expected to result from a stay.’” Coker v.

(9th Cir. 2005). 22 The Parties have scheduled a second mediation session with the Honorable Judge Amy 23 || Hogue (Ret.) for October 30, 2025. 24 Based on the foregoing, the Parties agree that their interests are aligned in seeking to 25 || potentially resolve the matter entirely without expending unnecessary litigation costs and efforts, 26 || and that neither Plaintiff nor Defendant will be prejudiced by a stay of the proceedings. The 27 || Parties also agree that they will each suffer an avoidable hardship — time and money spent 28 litigating — if the matter is required to proceed at this stage considering the Parties’ agreement to

1 || explore a potential resolution. Lastly, the Parties respectfully submit that staying all proceedings 2 || will avoid the waste of judicial resources by simplifying or entirely disposing of the issues in this 3 || action. Accordingly, the Parties agree and stipulate that good cause exists to stay all proceedings 4 □□□ requested herein. 5 The Parties will file a joint status report informing the Court of the outcome of their efforts 6 to resolve Plaintiffs claims within seven (7) days of the expiration of this stay, on or before November 21, 2025: 8 1.
