Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 DANIEL OELAND, Case No.: 3:22-cv-00288-BEN-DEB
Plaintiff,
ORDER GRANTING JOINT
v. MOTION AND STIPULATION TO
ARBITRATE AND STAY ACTION
CITIBANK, N.A.,
Defendant. [ECF No. 5] 16 Plaintiff filed its complaint in the subject case on March 3, 2022. ECF No. 1. Before Defendant filed its answer, the parties jointly moved to stipulate to arbitration and stay the case pending completion of the arbitration process. ECF No. 5. Courts have broad discretion to stay proceedings incident to their power to control their own docket. Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706 (1997). Stays are often granted when the resolution of another action bears upon the case, because a stay is most “efficient for [the court’s] own docket and the fairest course for the parties[.]” Leyva v. Certified Grocers of Cal., Ltd., 593 F.2d 857, 863 (9th Cir. 1979); see also Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 253 (1936)…
