(CR 05-0375 SI). The allegations in the forfeiture complaint are based, in large part, on the allegations at

issue in the pending criminal action. Consequently, the parties agree that a stay in the forfeiture

proceeding is appropriate in order to preserve claimant’s right against self-incrimination in the related

criminal matter, as well as to not jeopardize the government’s ability to prosecute the criminal action. 

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.
