STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES TO STAY CIVIL ACTION 1

CASE NO. 1:15-CV-00311-TLN-BAM

Two of the Plaintiffs in this case, Baljit Athwal and Daljit Atwal, are now defendants in 

criminal proceedings in the Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus, Case Number CR1490969, that arise from the same facts underlying Plaintiffs’ Complaint in this civil action. 

When a plaintiff’s civil claims arise from the same set of facts implicated in a pending criminal 

proceeding, it is common practice “to stay the civil action until the criminal case or the likelihood 

of a criminal case is ended.” Wallace v. Kato, 549 U.S. 384, 393-94 (2007). In light of the 

pending criminal proceedings, each of the parties agrees, and does hereby stipulate, to an 

indefinite stay of this civil action until the criminal case is ended. Plaintiffs shall advise the 

Court, by filing an appropriate motion or stipulation, when the criminal case is ended.
