With respect to the stay, the parties are to file a Joint Status Report on or before June 1, 2006, that addresses, inter alia, the status of the criminal action and whether the stay should be extended (and, if so, for how long).

Additionally, in the event that either party determines in the interim that a stay is no longer appropriate, that party may request a status conference to discuss the issue.
