The United States of America respectfully requests that the Court continue the hearing 

on the United States’ Motion for Stay of One Deposition Pending Completion of S.D.N.Y. Stein

Criminal Tax Shelter Trial currently scheduled for November 22, 2006, at 9:30 a.m., to

December 27, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. The grounds for this request are:

 1. The United States filed a Motion to Stay the Piovanetti deposition in this case pending

the completion of the Stein criminal trial. Subsequently, the United States modified its request to

stay the deposition until May 1, 2007 - just prior to the Jones discovery cutoff date. That motion

is scheduled for hearing on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 before Magistrate Judge Richard

2. On November 13, Judge Kaplan in the S.D.N.Y. issued a memorandum and order in

United States v. Stein, et al., SI 05 Crim 0888 (LAK)(S.D.N.Y.) adjourning the trial. Judge

Kaplan scheduled a conference on December 20, 2007 to consider possible trial dates. 

3. The United States and counsel for Plaintiff, Reese M. Jones, have conferred and

agreed to continue the hearing on the government's motion to stay the Piovanetti deposition until

after the December 20, 2006 status conference in Stein because one possible outcome of that

conference is to commence the Stein trial well after the discovery cutoff in this case. In that

event, the government would not seek to stay the Piovanetti deposition. 

Accordingly, the United States respectfully requests that the Court continue the hearing

on the United States’ Motion to stay the Piovanetti deposition currently scheduled for November

22, 2006, at 9:30 a.m., to December 27, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. 

Dated this 20 day of November, 2006. th

 Respectfully submitted,
