23 23 order Minutes of In Chambers Order/Directive - no proceeding held Staying Case Thu 10/05 8:24 PM
MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER STAYING ACTION PENDING OUTCOME OF RELATED CASE by Judge Dolly M. Gee: On 7/18/2023, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause ("OSC") why this action should not be stayed pending the outcome of three related cases: Bermejo v. Laboratory Corporation of America, Case No. CV 20-5337 DMG (SKx) (C.D. Cal.) ("Bermejo"), Poole v. Laboratory Corporation of America, Case No. CV 21-1805 AWI (CDB) (E.D. Cal.), and Aguilar v. Laboratory Corporation of America, Case No. CV 22-9061 DMG (SKx) (C.D. Cal.)20 . The Court finds that good cause exists to stay this case. The action is therefore STAYED and administratively closed pending the conclusion of the Bermejo proceedings. The parties shall file a Joint Status Report within ten days after the conclusion of the Bermejo case, indicating whether this action should be consolidated with Aguilar, whether the stay should be lifted, and, if so, proposing new dates and deadlines. The 7/18/2023 OSC is DISCHARGED. (MD JS-6. Case Terminated) Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk)
