1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 AMBER FERRELL, et al., Case No. 25-cv-03160-JST

8 Plaintiffs,

ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED

9 v. MOTION TO STAY PENDING

APPEAL

10 SNAPCOMMERCE HOLDINGS, INC., et al., Re: ECF No. 38 11 Defendants.

12 13 On November 25, 2025, this Court issued an order denying the motion to compel 14 arbitration filed by Defendants SnapCommerce Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Super.com and SnapMoney, 15 Inc. d/b/a Super.com (together, “Super”). ECF No. 34. On December 16, 2025, Super filed a 16 notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit concerning that order. ECF No. 37. Before the Court is 17 Super’s unopposed motion to stay proceedings pending its appeal. ECF No. 38. The Court will 18 grant the motion.1 19 Super appealed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act Section 16(a), which provides that 20 “[a]n appeal may be taken from . . . an order . . . denying a petition under section 4 of this title to 21 order arbitration to proceed.” ECF No. 37; 9 U.S.C. § 16(a). Interpreting Section 16(a) in 22 Coinbase, Inc. v. Bielski, the Supreme Court held in 2023 that “[t]he district court must stay its 23 proceedings” while an interlocutory appeal of an order denying a motion to compel arbitration is 24 ongoing. 599 U.S. 736, 738 (2023). The stay applies to “those aspects of the case involved in the 25 appeal.” Id. at 740 (quoting Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982)). 26 Where a decision denying a motion to compel arbitration is on appeal, “the entire case is 27 1 essentially ‘involved in the appeal.’” Jd. at 741. 2 In light of the foregoing authorities and Plaintiffs’ lack of opposition, the Court grants the 3 || motion and stays all proceedings pending resolution of Super’s appeal. Within seven days of the 4 || issuance of the mandate by the Ninth Circuit, the parties shall file a statement presenting joint or 5 separate proposals regarding how the case should proceed, including requesting a case 6 || management conference if appropriate. 7 IT IS SO ORDERED.
