The United States, represented by Assistant United States Attorney, 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 balancing test for equities, and the lack of 'special circumstances' that would warrant a stay. The U.S. emphasizes that Epstein's Fifth Amendment rights do not automatically lead to summary judgment against him and that the civil cases should proceed.
