ORDER
On October 8, 2013, defendant filed an Unopposed Motion 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 our response to the transferred Complaint,
currently due on October 11, 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.”
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 response to plaintiff’s transferred

complaint in this matter.
