ORDER

ANNA J. BROWN, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on RLI Insurance Company's Motion (#365) to Dismiss or Stay and Employers Insurance Company of Wausau's Motion (#366) for Joinder to RLI's Motion. The Court GRANTS Wausau's Motion (#366) for Joinder.

Having considered the parties' arguments and in the exercise of the Court's case-management discretion, the Court concludes a stay of this action until the conclusion of RLI's appeal taken from this Court's partial Judgment (#3Q8) is appropriate. Staying this case serves the purposes of judicial economy and avoids potentially wasteful expenditure of the parties' resources. Moreover, no party will be unduly prejudiced by this stay in light of the modest sum remaining in controversy.

CONCLUSION

For these reasons, the Court GRANTS in part RLI's Motion (#365) to Dismiss or Stay as follows:

The Court STRIKES all current case-management dates and STAYS this action until 60 days after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issues a mandate in Ninth Circuit Case No. 14-35542 or further order of this Court. The parties shall file a single, joint status report outlining the parties' proposals for the next steps in this case within 60 days of the Ninth Circuit's mandate. The parties shall also file a joint status report if any significant developments that affect this action occur in the interim.

The Court DENIES in part RLI's Motion to the extent RLI seeks dismissal of this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
