UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The court’s previous stay order, ECF No. 23, is vacated. The court herein enters a new 

stay order.

Given defendant’s legitimate concerns about the impact of parallel criminal and civil

proceedings, see ECF No. 22, the court finds a stay to be appropriate. However, we are reluctant 

to stay civil proceedings indefinitely (at present, a criminal trial is not “not yet scheduled”). Id. at 

10. At this time, we will stay the civil case for 180 days. Within 160 days of the date of this 

order, defendant is ordered (1) to report back on the state of the criminal case and (2) to state 

whether he seeks a further stay.
