ORDER

J. RANDAL HALL, District Judge.

On May 5, 2015, the Court invited the parties in this matter to file a response to the Court's proposed imposition of a stay pending the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals' disposition of Johnson v. Midland Funding, LLC, No. 15-11240 (11th Cir. Mar. 24, 2015). (Doc. 50.) The Courtpreviously stayed three similar cases on its docket,1 each of which turns on the interplay between the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") and the Bankruptcy Code, particularly in reference to the filing of time-barred proofs of claim in bankruptcy proceedings. As in the three cases previously stayed, an affirmance from the Eleventh Circuit in Johnson would prove dispositive in this matter. Neither Plaintiffs nor Defendants filed a response within the time frameprovided, which indicates to the Court that they do not oppose this proposed course of action. (See Dkt.)

It is well-established that a district court may stay proceedings either on its ownor on a motion of the parties. See, e.g., Landis v. N. Am. Water Works & Elec. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). Moreover, the Eleventh Circuit has held that "[a]variety of circumstances may justify a district court stay pending the. resolution of a related case inanother court." Ortega Trujillo v. Conover & Co. Commc'ns, Inc., 221 F.3d 1262, 1264 (11th Cir. 2000). Indeed, a stay "sometimes is authorized simply as a means of controlling the district court's docket and of managing cases before the district court." Id. Even so, "[w]hen a district court exercises its discretion to staya case pending the resolution of related proceedings in another forum, the district court must limit properly the scopeof the stay." Id.

Accordingly, this case shall be STAYED pending the Eleventh Circuit's decision in Johnson v. Midland Funding, LLC, at which time any party may move to lift the stay.
