This matter comes before the Court on the Parties’ Stipulated Motion to Extend Stay of

18

Proceedings. (Dkt. No. 45.) Having reviewed the Motion and all supporting materials, the Court

19

GRANTS the Motion. The Court previously granted a stay in this case in order to allow a

20

criminal trial (State v. Rankine et al., Pierce County Cause No. 21-1-01288-2) involving some of

21

the named defendants in this action to conclude. (Dkt. No. 43.) The criminal trial remains

22

ongoing, and the Parties ask the Court to extend the stay of this action. The Court finds good

23

cause to do so, and EXTENDS the stay in this action until the underlying criminal trial is
