5. 	This matter is in a similar factual and procedural posture as the pending Ninth Circuit appeal
in Rodriguez v. Bostock, 779 F.Supp.3d 1239 (W.D. Wash. 2025), Ninth Circuit docket no.
25-6842.
6. 	Because the issues in Rodriguez are likely to be dispositive of the issues in this case, the
parties ask that any further briefing deadlines in this case be held abeyance until the
resolution of the Rodriguez case.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
