STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES TO
STAY CIVIL ACTION PENDING
RESOLUTION OF CRIMINAL
MATTER

1

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

2

criminal proceedings in the Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus, Case Number CR-

3

1490969, that arise from the same facts underlying Plaintiffs’ Complaint in this civil action.

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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