MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on movant’s motion to stay proceedings, pending a United
States Supreme Court decision in Beckles v. United States, No. 15-8544, 2016 WL 1029080
(cert. granted Jun. 27, 2016) [Doc. 4]. The government has not filed a response to the motion
and the time to do so has passed.
Movant seeks to stay the instant proceedings, pending a decision by the Supreme Court in
Beckles v. United States, No. 15-8544, 2016 WL 1029080 (cert. granted Jun. 27, 2016). Movant
asserts that Beckles involves questions of law directly related to the issues raised in this matter
and potentially will be dispositive of the issues herein.
The Court concludes it would be in the interest of judicial economy to stay this case
pending a decision by the Supreme Court in Beckles. The motion to stay should,
therefore, be granted. Movant will be ordered to notify the Court within ten (10) days after a
decision has been made in the case, so the stay may be lifted and appropriate action taken herein.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that movant’s motion to stay further proceedings [Doc. 4]
is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within ten (10) days of a decision in Beckles v.
United States, movant shall notify the Court in writing so the stay may be lifted and appropriate
action taken herein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the present case is STAYED and this action is
ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED, pending further order of this Court.
Dated this 25th day of August, 2016.
