OWEN / ORDER This action originated before this court on October 30, 2009, plaintiff's complaint brought against defendant for alleged violations under the Commodities Exchange Act. (Doc. 1). Plaintiff seeks to enjoin defendant from certain acts and to imposition of monetary penalties, restitution, and other such relief. A Consent Statutory Restraining Order, Order of Preliminary Injunction, and Other Equitable Relief was entered by the court on November 9, 2009. (Doc. 6). Thereafter, upon plaintiff's notice of settlement discussion and request for abeyance (doc 15), by order dated March 19, 2010, all proceedings in this case were stayed for a period of thirty days pending the scheduled sentencing of defendant in a criminal matter which stemmed from the same conduct charged in this civil action.
