This document is page 10 of a court order filed on September 14, 2020, discussing 'The Interests of the Court' regarding a motion to stay a civil case involving Ghislaine Maxwell. The court reasons that staying the civil case favors judicial economy because the parallel criminal case (presided over by Judge Alison J. Nathan) may resolve common factual issues and involves strict protective orders that complicate civil discovery. The text references letters from the Government and Moskowitz regarding these discovery limitations.
This document is a legal filing, specifically a section from a motion for a stay filed on behalf of Maxwell. It outlines the applicable legal standards for staying a civil action pending the completion of a parallel criminal prosecution. The document cites several legal precedents to argue that while such a stay is an "extraordinary remedy," courts will grant one when justice requires, particularly when there is an overlap of issues between the civil and criminal cases, and lists six factors that guide the court's decision.
