1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 SCOTT JOHNSON, 11 Plaintiff, 12 13 No. CIV S-11-00064 WBS KJN (TEMP) PS vs. EL DORADO LIQUORS, INC., et al., 14 Defendants. 15 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. 24 //// 25 //// 26 //// 1 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants’ motions to stay (dkt. 2 nos. 16, 17) are denied. 3 DATED: June 6, 2011 4 5 _____________________________________ KENDALL J.
