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 against the necessity of a stay, stating that no 'special circumstances' justify it. The response discusses the standards for imposing a stay, the balancing test for equities, and the implications of Epstein's Fifth Amendment rights. The U.S. emphasizes that Epstein's case does not meet the criteria for a stay and highlights the interests of the plaintiffs and public in proceeding with the civil cases.
