Q: If a Motion To Stay Proceedings in a civil trial (based on parallel proceedings where defendant could be compromising 5th amendment rights while criminal action is contemplated) is denied by the Circuit Court- is an emergency appeal in order? Procedurally how does that work?
It would seem this is a case where continuing on with the civil trial would compromise me in the criminal trial if i answered the civil discovery.
Civil fraud alleged, big numbers, no discovery yet, my answer is due in ten days. I am going to move for a Stay, but if it is denied- i'm trying to figure out if everything else is due.
Other motions I'm writing; if anyone wants to chime in- I'd appreciate it. And I know I am over my head pro se, no other options.
These are all valid motions. Do I present them all on the same day I move for a stay? Can I string them out, one every two weeks? Is there time between Motions for research?
Motion for change of venue- pretrial publicity.
Motion to strike scandalous matter
Motion for a gag order (receiver and plaintiffs attorney grandstanding on tv-print etc "this man stole from the poor")
Motion for a separate trial for me, they want me tried with the company which i have no control over.
Motion to add defendants
Cross-claim against receiver of my company (failure of fiduciary)
Cross-claim against my company (for fees and failing to provide defense)
Cross-claim against added defendants for theft of business secrets, fiduciary failure
