Notable Quotes 3
"[T]he power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants."
"The interests of the courts, the public, the other parties and Ms. Maxwell all will best be served by a stay of this civil case."
"A stay can protect a defendant from making a 'Hobson's choice' of choosing to be prejudiced in the civil litigation if the defendant asserts his Fifth Amendment privilege, or from being prejudiced in the criminal proceeding if he or she waives that privilege in the civil litigation."
