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.
