ORDER
On October 8, 2013, defendant filed a Request for a Stay in Light of Lapse
of Appropriations. Based on the lapse in appropriations to the Department of
Justice as of September 30, 2013, the government requests “a stay of all deadlines
in this case, including the filing of the reply brief on defendant’s motion to
transfer, due on October 15, 2013, until Congress has restored appropriations to the
Department.” The government further requests that “all current deadlines for the
parties be extended commensurate with the duration of the lapse in
appropriations.”
Defendant does not indicate whether plaintiff opposes defendant’s request
for a stay and, as of this date, plaintiff has not communicated his position to the
court. Nevertheless, for good cause shown, the court grants defendant’s request.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
(1)

Defendant’s Request for a Stay in Light of Lapse of Appropriations is
GRANTED; and

(2)

Immediately upon restoration of appropriations to the Department of
Justice, the parties shall CONFER and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, shall FILE a Status Report setting forth an agreed upon
deadline for the filing of defendant’s reply brief on defendant’s
motion to transfer before the court in this matter.
