Case No. C 06-4866 JSW

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER RE STAY OF ACTION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff United States of America and

prospective claimants Johnson Mai and Lisa Lee, through undersigned counsel, that this action

be stayed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(j). Johnson Mai and Lisa Lee, who have filed or will file a

claim contesting the forfeiture of the defendant property, have been charged by a criminal

complaint with drug trafficking and money laundering offenses in the Northern District of

California. The underlying criminal activity alleged in the criminal complaint forms, in large

part, the basis for the forfeiture allegations in the government’s complaint for forfeiture. 

Consequently, the parties agree that a stay in the forfeiture proceeding is appropriate in order to

preserve Johnson Mail and Lisa Lee’s right against self-incrimination in the related

criminal matter. The parties thus request that matter be stayed pending resolution of the related

criminal matter and that any pending deadlines or assigned dates also be stayed and vacated until

the resolution of the related criminal case. 

Upon the resolution of the criminal case, the parties will notify the Court so that the forfeiture

matter may be set for further status. Alternatively, should the Court wish to set the matter for

status at this time, the parties request that the matter be set for status in approximately 6 months.
