STIPULATION AND ORDER TO STAY 

PROCEEDINGS PENDING RESOLUTION 

OF PLAINTIFF’S CRIMINAL CASE 

 

Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

Date: Fridays 

Time: 10:00 a.m. 

Ctrm: 3, 15th Floor 

Trial: None Set 

ANGEL BAGOS (“Plaintiff”) and the CITY OF VALLEJO and MICHAEL JONES 

(“Defendants”) by and through their designated counsel jointly stipulate and respectfully request 

to stay the civil case pending resolution of PLAINTIFF’S on-going criminal case. 

Good Cause for Request to Stay: The underlying incident occurred on August 25, 2018 in 

Vallejo, California. As a result of the incident, PLAINTIFF was criminally charged with a 

misdemeanor violation of California Penal Code § 148(a)(1) on February 26, 2019. The Solano 

County Superior Court case number is VCR233914 (see the attached Criminal Complaint, Exhibit 

“A”). It is alleged in the criminal complaint that PLAINTIFF willfully and unlawfully resisted, 

delayed, and obstructed Vallejo Police Officers Nickolas Sloan and Michael Jones on August 24, 

2018. (Id.) 

DEFENDANTS subpoenaed the criminal case records, which were received in August 

2020. According to the subpoenaed records, the most recent court date for PLAINTIFF’S 

CRIMINAL case was a Pretrial Conference on May 29, 2020 (see the attached Notice of 

Continued Hearing, Exhibit “B”). DEFENDANTS have re-subpoenaed but not yet received the 

criminal records to ensure that the criminal case has not been dismissed or otherwise resolved. 

However, PLAINTIFF and DEFENDANTS believe in good faith that the criminal case has not 

been resolved and is on-going. 

Because DEFENDANTS intend on deposing PLAINTIFF and serving written discovery, 

the parties agree that PLAINTIFF’s Fifth Amendment right effectively prohibits DEFENDANTS 

from meaningfully conducting discovery. Similarly, the outcome of the criminal case may give

rise to the need for additional discovery and/or influence anticipated dispositive motions filed in 

this civil case. Finally, PLAINTIFF and DEFENDANTS agree that a stay in the civil proceedings 

will not prejudice either party. 

Therefore, PLAINTIFF and DEFENDANTS stipulate and respectfully request the Court 

use its discretion to stay the civil proceedings pending the resolution of PLAINTIFF’S criminal 

case.
