In the Matter of the Complaint of William Martz et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA
In the Matter of the COMPLAINT of
William and Jane Martz, as owners
of the Nautique, for Limitation of
Liability.
Case No. 3:20-cv-00152-SLG
ORDER RE MOTION TO STAY SUBPOENAS
Before the Court at Docket 90 is the Alaska Department of Public Safety’s
(DPS) Motion to Stay Subpoenas. Mr. Horazdovsky filed a response in support of
the motion at Docket 94 and William and Jane Martz filed a response in opposition
to the motion at Docket 101.
The State seeks to stay the depositions of six law enforcement officers until
after the criminal trial of Reagan Martz is concluded.1 The State’s motion is denied,
as it has not demonstrated it would be substantially prejudiced and deprived of a
fair 	trial 	in 	the 	state 	criminal 	case 	if 	the 	proposed 	depositions 	of 	the 	law
enforcement officers take place at this time. 	Keating v. Off. of Thrift Supervision,
45 F.3d 322, 324 (9th Cir. 1995).
DATED this 21st day of February, 2023, at Anchorage, Alaska.
/s/ Sharon L. Gleason
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
