ORDER

16
17

On February 13, 2013, plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed

18

a motion for summary judgment, alleging that the defendants sold securities through material

19

misrepresentations and engaged in a fraudulent scheme. ECF No. 64.

20

Defendant Loomis, who is facing criminal charges stemming from his

21

involvement in the sale of securities, has written to the court, asking for an extension of time to

22

oppose the motion and for the appointment of his criminal lawyer, Assistant Federal Defender

23

Douglas Beevers, to represent him in the civil case. ECF No. 67. The docket of the criminal

24

case, United States v. Loomis, Cr. No. S-12-315 JAM, shows that Mr. Beevers has moved for the

25

expansion of his appointment to include representation in this civil matter. Criminal Docket,

26

ECF No. 74. Because the resolution of the motion pending in the criminal case will have an
1

1

impact on this case, the court will stay the SEC’s summary judgment motion until the motion in

2

the criminal case is resolved.

3

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

4

1. The pending motion for summary judgment is stayed until resolution of the

5
6

motion for expansion filed in Cr. No. S-12-315 JAM; and
2. Defendant Loomis is directed to notify this court within fourteen days of the

7

resolution of the motion in the criminal case.

DATED: March 11, 2013.
