Court calls case. Appearances of counsel.
Discussion regarding Joint Motion to Stay Pending Outcome of Plaintiff's State Criminal Charges (Docket No. 18, filed on 12/16/2011) and Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer or Otherwise Respond re 1 Complaint, (also filed on behalf of Jefferson County Deputy Sheriff Arthur Peterson, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County, and Jefferson County Auto Theft Task Force) (Docket No. 20, filed on 1/4/2012).
ORDERED: The court GRANTS Joint Motion to Stay Pending Outcome of Plaintiffs State Criminal Charges (Docket No. 18, filed on 12/16/2011). The court will stay these proceeding pending the outcome of the state criminal trial (not addressing any appeals that may be filed). If in fact the trial is vacated and reset for some date after March 5, 2012 (and is set out for a considerable amount of time), the plaintiff may ask the court for reconsideration regarding the matter of the stay. If the trial goes forward, counsel will need to put together a telephonic conference call and contact
Magistrate Judge Shaffer's chambers at (303) 844-2117 within 72 hours of a jury verdict in the state criminal case.
ORDERED: The court GRANTS Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer or Otherwise Respond re 1 Complaint, (also filed on behalf of Jefferson County Deputy Sheriff Arthur Peterson, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County, and Jefferson County Auto Theft Task Force) (Docket No. 20, filed on 1/4/2012). On the assumption that the trial goes forward on March 5, 2012 the defendants will be required to file answers (or otherwise respond to the complaint) within 14 calendar days of a jury verdict in the state criminal case. The court will re-evaluate the motion for extension of time if the trial is vacated (and looks like it will not move forward for a considerable amount of time).
HEARING CONCLUDED.
