This document is page 6 of a court order (likely from the Southern District of New York) dated July 31, 2020. The court is analyzing Ghislaine Maxwell's request to stay a civil case due to her pending criminal indictment. The judge finds that there is significant factual overlap between the civil and criminal matters, which weighs in favor of granting the stay to protect her Fifth Amendment rights.
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.
