ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Glen Adkins and Defendant Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company's Joint Motion to Stay Count II filed on March 27, 2015. (Doc. #25). The Amended Complaint asserts two counts. (Doc. #24). Count I is a declaratory action to determine coverage under the subject insurance policy, and Count II is an uninsured motorist claim. (Id. at ¶¶ 12-26). The parties move to stay discovery and litigation on Count II until Count I is resolved. At this time, the Court finds that judicial economy and efficiency will not be promoted by granting the instant motion. See Landis v. Am. Water Works & Elec. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936) (stating "the power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants"). As a result, the Court will deny the parties' Joint Motion to Stay Count II of the Amended Complaint.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
Plaintiff Glen Adkins and Defendant Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company's Joint Motion to Stay Count II (Doc. #25) is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED.
