ORDER STAYING THE INSTANT

ACTION PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C.

§ 981(g)(2)

STIPULATION

Plaintiff, United States of America, and Claimants Frank Wong, Salina Wong, Richard Wong

Yu Wai Mei, and Bank of America, through their respective counsel, and subject to this Court’s

approval, hereby agree and stipulate, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(g)(2), that the Court should

grant a stay in this case and that any pending deadlines or assigned dates also be stayed and

vacated until the resolution of the related criminal case. 

The provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 981(g)(2), related to stays of civil forfeiture proceedings, 

provide that “[u]pon the motion of a claimant, the court shall stay the civil forfeiture proceeding

with respect to that claimant if the court determines that (A) the claimant is the subject of a

related criminal investigation or case; (B) the claimant has standing to assert a claim in the civil

forfeiture proceeding; and (C) continuation of the forfeiture proceeding will burden the right of

the claimant against self-incrimination in the related investigation or case.

There are pending related criminal proceedings against claimant Richard Wong in the

Northern California District Court, Case No. CR 05-0375 SI. In fact, the defendant real property

is subject to forfeiture as part of the criminal case. 

Therefore, the parties believe and stipulate that this civil matter should be stayed pending the

resolution of the above-referenced criminal case because the above conditions appear to be

satisfied. The parties request that this case be stayed until December 15, 2006, or such time as

either party or the Court may request that the stay be lifted.. At that time, the parties will inform

the Court of the status of the criminal case.

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
