Pye v. S.C.C.D.O.C. et al

Filing 52

ORDER by Judge Chhabria granting 45 Motion to Stay. County ordered to produce documents to the plaintiff by Nov. 15, 2016. (vclc1S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 11/10/2016)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE H. PYE,

Case No. 15-cv-05768-VC

Plaintiff,
ORDER GRANTING THE MOTION TO
STAY

v.
JONATHAN BENSON, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 45

Defendants.

Deputy Lubrin's motion to stay the case is granted, in acknowledgment of the potential
for the civil discovery available in this action to unfairly prejudice his criminal defense and the
burden of participating in this case while his criminal proceedings are underway. See Keating v.
Office of Thrift Supervision, 45 F.3d 322, 324-25 (9th Cir. 1995); Fed. Ins. Co. v. Laney, No. 12cv-04708-WHA, 2013 WL 594267, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 14, 2013). This Order stays the case in
full until the conclusion of Deputy Lubrin's criminal trial.
Notwithstanding the stay, Deputy Lubrin is ordered to review the documents collected by
the County of Santa Clara, so that Santa Clara can produce them to the plaintiff by no later than
Tuesday, November 15, 2016. The parties are ordered to meet and confer over any disputes
arising over these documents and, to the extent a resolution cannot be reached, file a discovery
dispute letter in accordance with the Court's Civil Standing Order by Monday, November 14,
2016.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 10, 2016
