On September 19, 2017, defendant Harwinder Bisla, who proceeds pro se, filed a motion

19

to continue the trial set for November 6, 2017. (ECF No. 25.) Defendant is incarcerated in the

20

Placer County Jail, awaiting trial on criminal charges. (Id.) He contends that proceeding with

21

“this civil action before the completion of [his] criminal action will violate his Fifth Amendment

22

Rights.” (Id.) Plaintiffs filed a statement of non-opposition to defendant’s motion. (ECF No.

23

27.) Based upon defendant’s status, and plaintiffs’ non-opposition, the court concludes that it is

24

appropriate to stay this matter pending the outcome of Mr. Bisla’s criminal proceeding.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. This matter is STAYED, pending the outcome of Harwinder Bisla’s criminal

27
28

proceeding in Placer County Superior Court.
2. Parties shall file a joint status report on or before April 30, 2018, updating the court on
