___. Joseph N. Casas appeared on behalf of the moving party, Defendant Matthew La Madrid. All other appearances were noted on the record. After full consideration of the evidence, having reviewed the papers in support of this motion, and considered oral argument of counsel, the Court rules as follows: The continuation of the civil proceedings in light of the ongoing criminal investigation by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California would have an adverse and prejudicial effect upon the rights and interests of Mr. La Madrid and a stay is in the interests of judicial economy and of the public. GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, Defendant's Motion for Stay of Proceedings Pending Resolution of Criminal Action is GRANTED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:
