Claim of Privilege
When a defendant in a civil case asserts a claim of privilege because of a pending and related criminal matter, the court may stay the civil case pending the outcome of the criminal matter. Depending upon the particular matter, the court may also schedule the civil case and permit the defendant to be deposed or appear and assert the privilege.
