October 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 34 ORDER indicating that, given the representations in Defendant Kevin T. Carney's Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Resolution of Parallel Criminal Prosecution #32 , which requests a stay of the present proceedings as to only Defendant Kevin T. Carney, and given that Plaintiff takes no position as to the relief requested by way of the Motion, see Mot. 16, ECF. No. #32 , the Court sees no reason as to why the entire present matter should not be stayed as to all of the Defendants pending resolution of the parallel criminal prosecutions. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that this case is stayed as to all Defendants pending further order of court. Any party may seek relief from this Order, if appropriate, at any time. It is hereby further ordered that Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment #21 , which was filed as to all three Defendants and remains pending as to only Defendant Jonathan D. Freeze, is dismissed without prejudice to be refiled, if warranted and appropriate, when the stay in this matter is lifted. It is hereby further ordered that, given the stay imposed by this Order, Defendant Robert J. Irey's Motion to Extend Time to File Answer to the Complaint #33 is dismissed as moot. Defendants Robert J. Irey and Kevin T. Carney shall file an answer to the Complaint within 21 days of the stay being lifted in this matter. Signed by Judge Robert J. Colville on 10/1/21.
