Plaintiff has not responded to this 15 Motion. 16 “[T]he power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to 17 control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for 18 counsel, and for litigants.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936).

Lockyer v. Mirant Corp., 398 23 F.3d 1098, 1110 (9th Cir. 2005) (quoting Landis, 299 U.S. at 268).
