Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: Will judge cont trial if adversary plaintiff in criminal case re: stay violation

Unless the criminal prosecution is related directly to your case, I find it unlikely that a judge would continue the AP trial to wait for the outcome of the criminal case. The issue is relevance - how is the Plaintiff's behavior in a different case relevant to the AP you are defending? I can't, based upon the facts you provided, see any relevance if they are two different cases. You can certainly try to obtain a continuance, however, without the Plaintiff's consent (which I assume s/he is not likely to give), I don't see a bankruptcy court judge getting real excited about continuing the trial date.
