Date Filed Document Text
June 13, 2019 Filing 42 EO: The Court schedules a Status Conference re: Stay for 4/8/2020 09:00 AM in Courtroom 5 before MAGISTRATE JUDGE ROM TRADER. (MAGISTRATE JUDGE ROM TRADER)(tbf, )

June 10, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 40 ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS, ECF NO. #27 - Signed by CHIEF JUDGE J. MICHAEL SEABRIGHT on 6/10/2019. "For the foregoing reasons, the court GRANTS Defendant Connors' Motion to Stay Proceedings, ECF No. 27. This case is STAYED pending a final decision by the Ninth Circuit in Young v. Hawaii, 9th Cir. No. 12-17808. Further, because the court anticipates that a final decision in Young will not occur for at least a year, the court ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSES this action. See, e.g., Penn West Assocs., Inc. v. Cohen, 371 F.3d 118, 127, 128 (3d Cir. 2004) (explaining that administrative closings comprise a familiar, albeit essentially ad hoc, way in which courts remove cases from their active files without making any final adjudication and are an administrative convenience which allows the removal of cases from the [docket] in appropriate situations[.]) (citations omitted). The closing of this case is solely an administrative matter and does not impact, in any manner, any party's rights or obligations, does not alter in any manner any previous rulings by the court, and does not require a filing fee to reopen the case. See Dees v. Billy, 394 F.3d 1290, 1294 (9th Cir. 2005) (discussing administrative closures, stating that [a]n order administratively closing a case is a docket management tool that has no jurisdictional effect). The parties are also directed to file a notice with this court if any significant developments occur in that case or in the en banc proceedings in Young. The court will lift the administrative stay after a final decision in Young. IT IS SO ORDERED." (jo)
