EL DORADO LIQUORS, INC., et al.,

ORDER
/
16
This action was referred to the undersigned under Local Rule 302(c)(21). On May
17
4, 2011, defendants John Segall and Reva Segall filed motions to stay the action. Those motions
18
were also referred to the undersigned. Defendants invoke provisions of the California Civil Code
19
which allow for early evaluation conferences in actions where construction-related accessibility
20
claims are made and where the subject site has been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist
21
(“CASp”). See Cal. Civil Code, §§ 55.51, et seq. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure govern
22
the instant action, not California procedures. While an inspection by a CASp may be relevant to
23
settlement negotiations in this matter, it does not appear a stay at this juncture is warranted.
