WHEREAS, plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”) filed its 

civil complaint against defendant James Michael Murray on March 15, 2012, its first amended 

complaint on June 14, 2012, and a supplemental first amended complaint on January 9, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Government filed a criminal complaint against Mr. Murray on February 16, 

2012, United States v. James Murray, Case No. 3:12-cr-00278-EMC (N.D. Cal.), an indictment on 

April 19, 2012, a superseding indictment on June 14, 2012, and a second superseding indictment on 

September 17, 2013, which include wire fraud charges based on the same conduct alleged in the 

Commission’s complaint (the “criminal action”);

WHEREAS, the civil action and the criminal action were subsequently related (Dkt. No. 22);

WHEREAS, the Court previously granted Mr. Murray’s motion to stay the proceedings, 

including the time to answer and discovery in this action because of the pending criminal action 

against him (Dkt. 38);

WHEREAS, the criminal action against Mr. Murray is ongoing, with a status/trial set hearing 

on February 5, 2014 ( Case No. 3:12-cr-00278, Dkt. No. 151); 

WHEREAS, the parties in the instant case are scheduled to have a case management 

conference with the Court on January 9, 2014 (Dkt. No. 59);

WHEREAS, in light of the Court’s stay order and the fact that the criminal action against Mr. 

Murray is still ongoing, the parties have suspended the instant litigation and therefore have no report 

to make to the Court; 

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred and expect to resume the Commission’s civil 

action once final judgment is entered in the criminal action; 

THEREFORE, the parties stipulate and agree, and ask the Court to adopt as its Order, that:

1. Proceedings in the instant action remain stayed until final judgment is entered in the 

criminal action;

2. The stay of proceedings shall relieve defendant of his obligation to answer or 

otherwise respond to the supplemental first amended complaint as long as the stay is in effect;

exception that any party may serve subpoenas for documents upon third parties, provided that the 

Commission shall not disclose any such discovery to the United States Attorney’s Office prosecuting 

the criminal action absent further order by this Court;

4. Upon expiration of the stay, defendant shall answer or otherwise respond to the 

supplemental first amended complaint within thirty (30) days; and

5. Upon expiration of the stay, the parties shall file a joint case management statement, 

including a proposed plan for a discovery schedule, within thirty (30) days.
