Re: Dkt. No. 20

In this action, Plaintiff Timothy Pierce alleges that Defendant Dan Ryan, an agent working for 

the Palo Alto Police Department, suppressed and tampered with evidence in connection with Pierce’s 

DUI arrest and prosecution. [Docket No. 1 at ¶¶ 4, 10-12.] At the May 3, 2016 case management

for trial within the next few months. [Docket No. 19.] 

On May 9, 2016, Judge Grewal stayed this case pending the resolution of Pierce’s state 

court criminal proceedings. [Docket No. 20.] On June 6, 2016, this case was reassigned to the 

undersigned for all further proceedings. [Docket No. 21.] The matter shall remain stayed. The 

parties shall notify the court within 14 days of the final resolution of the state criminal action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
