UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE H. PYE,

Plaintiff,

v.

JONATHAN BENSON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05768-VC 

ORDER GRANTING THE MOTION TO 

STAY

Re: Dkt. No. 45

Deputy Lubrin's motion to stay the case is granted, in acknowledgment of the potential 

for the civil discovery available in this action to unfairly prejudice his criminal defense and the 

burden of participating in this case while his criminal proceedings are underway. See Keating v. 

Office of Thrift Supervision, 45 F.3d 322, 324-25 (9th Cir. 1995); Fed. Ins. Co. v. Laney, No. 12-

cv-04708-WHA, 2013 WL 594267, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 14, 2013). This Order stays the case in 

full until the conclusion of Deputy Lubrin's criminal trial. 

Notwithstanding the stay, Deputy Lubrin is ordered to review the documents collected by 

the County of Santa Clara, so that Santa Clara can produce them to the plaintiff by no later than

Tuesday, November 15, 2016. The parties are ordered to meet and confer over any disputes 

arising over these documents and, to the extent a resolution cannot be reached, file a discovery 

dispute letter in accordance with the Court's Civil Standing Order by Monday, November 14, 

2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
