STAY NO LONGER REQUIRED
OF FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
AND ORDER [PROPOSED]
The United States of America and claimant Jaime R. Serrano (hereafter "claimant") hereby advise the Court that a stay is no longer pertinent in this matter. As described more fully in the Orders Staying the Case entered on July 12, 2011 (Doc. 31) and November 16, 2011 (Doc. 34), this civil forfeiture case has been stayed pending the resolution of the related criminal charges filed against the claimant in Trinity County Superior Court.
The parties now submit that the criminal case filed against the claimant in the Trinity County Superior Court, i.e., the basis for the stay in the above-entitled case, has reached its conclusion. Per the Court's November 16, 2011 Order granting a further stay in the case, "the parties will advise the court of the status of the criminal case and will advise the court whether a further stay is necessary [within sixty days]." Accordingly, the stay is longer pertinent and the obligation to file a Joint Status Report is now active.
The parties submit:
1. The grounds forming the basis for the previous stay are no longer present and that a stay is no longer pertinent; and
2. The parties will file, fourteen days prior to the pretrial scheduling conference, a joint status report addressing the matters set forth in the July 9, 2010, Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference.
