Originally the Court granted a 45-day stay until August 16, Thereafter, it extended the stay to October 15, then to December 27, 2012, then to February 25, 2013, and then to April 26, 2013 The district court has not yet decided the Motion for a New Trial (Rec. Doc. 963) urged originally by defendant Arthur Kaufman and joined in by the other defendants. At a status conference on April 16, 2013, Judge Engelhardt indicated that the investigation he ordered in connection with the motion might be on-going for some time. To avoid possibly unnecessary proceedings in this Court, defendants request another 60-day extension of the stay until June 25, 2013 or the disposition of the new trial motion, whichever is sooner. Appellant-cross-appellee Bowen s attorney has conferred with Lisa J. Stark, attorney for the government, who states that the Government does not oppose this motion. 2
