 Defendants. 

The United States and claimants Leonard Yang, Chui Qiang Liu, Xiahua Ouyang and Megan 

Liu, (“claimants”), submit the following Joint Status Report pursuant to the Court’s prior order in this 

case. No other party has appeared in this action. 

The parties previously requested, and this Court granted, a stay of further proceedings in this 

matter in light of the ongoing companion criminal case, United States v. Leonard Yang, et al., Case No. 

2:16-CR-00189 KJM. The parties hereby submit that the criminal case is still ongoing as Defendant 

Yichao Chen is set for sentencing on May 11, 2020. Accordingly, as set forth in the original Joint 

Status Report [ECF No. 32], the Court should stay further proceedings in this matter rather than fully 

schedule this case at this time. As a further update for the Court, the parties have sold five of the 

defendant properties pursuant to an interlocutory sales order entered in the case: defendants 6340 

Logan, 1735 Itasca, 9501 Jeffcott, 7918/7950 68th and 8982 Elder Creek Road. Pursuant to those 

orders, most of the claims filed by property owners and lienholders have been fully resolved. 

Accordingly, those claimants who no longer have an interest in the properties have filed stipulations to 

withdraw their claims. See e.g., Dkt. 59, 64, 66-69, 79. The sole remaining claim will remain stayed 

until the outcome of the criminal case. 

 The United States continues to work through the details of the stipulation to sell the remaining 

defendant property, 6945 Nova Parkway, and the United States believes the property will soon be on 

the market for sale, likely after Yichao Chen’s sentencing. The United States anticipates the stay in the

criminal case resolves, whichever comes first.
