quashed as possibly mooting the pending motion for stay burdening Claimants rights against self incrimination in the pending criminal investigation and that the Court quash the Notice of Deposition for the deposition of Claimant, Alberto Abed, for the same reasons, and pray that the Court grant such other and further relief as the Court deems proper.
