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.
This legal document, filed by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, argues against a defendant's request to seal the juror questionnaire and voir dire process from the public. Citing multiple legal precedents, the filing asserts that there is a strong presumption of openness and the defense has failed to meet the 'heavy burden' of proof required to justify such secrecy. The document urges the court to deny the defendant's request and order the materials to be filed on the public docket.
