The United States, represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie Villafaña, responds to the court's request for its position on Jeffrey Epstein's motion to stay civil proceedings. The U.S. argues that a stay is not necessary and was not part of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Epstein. The document discusses the standards for imposing a stay, the assertion of the Fifth Amendment, and the balancing of equities. It concludes that no 'special circumstances' warrant a stay of the civil cases pending the expiration of the NPA.
