EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BROADWAY GLOBAL MASTER INC., 

a corporation, also d/b/a BGM,

KIRIT PATEL, individually and as an officer 

of BROADWAY GLOBAL MASTER INC.,

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:12-cv-0855 JAM GGH 

STIPULATION TO EXTEND STAY; 

AND ORDER 

STIPULATION 

On August 23, 2012, defendant Kirit Patel was indicted by the United States on criminal 

charges related to the same subject matter as the instant case (see Case No. 2:12-CR-00306-JAM). On 

September 12, 2012, the Court entered a stipulation between Mr. Patel and counsel for the Federal 

Trade Commission (“FTC”) staying this matter for six months or until the resolution of the criminal 

case, whichever is shorter. The parties continued the stay for an additional four months on March 8, 

2013. 

Because the criminal charges against Mr. Patel are still pending, Mr. Patel and counsel for the 

Case 2:12-cv-00855-JAM-DAD Document 55 Filed 07/08/13 Page 1 of 2

-titleFTC believe it is necessary to extend the stay for an additional 90 days to protect Mr. Patel’s Fifth 

Amendment right against self-incrimination, which could be implicated should he be required to 

participate and defend the civil action. Mr. Patel agrees that, during the pendency of the stay, he will 

not seek the release of assets frozen pursuant to the preliminary injunction. 

The requested stay is a stay of the entire civil action against all defendants including a stay of 

the pending motion for default judgment against defendants Broadway Global Master Inc. and InArabia Solutions Inc. The stay does not alter the preliminary injunction with asset freeze, which will 

remain in full effect. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
