07/15/2008	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. Partially Granting Motion for Stay. Posin states that he is currently involved in a criminal jury trial in federal court, which commenced on June 10, 2008, and is expected to continue until September. We conclude that a stay is warranted with respect to this trial only. Accordingly, we grant the motion for a stay in part. Posin shall be allowed to continue representing his client in United States District Court, District of Nevada, case number CR-S-02-674-PMP(LRL) until completion of the trial. fn1[ Under SCR 115, Posin is permitted to practice with respect to pending matters for 15 days after entry of our July 2, 2008, order.] fn2[ We note that Posin's motion suggests he intends on filing a petition for rehearing of the July 2, 2008, order. A rehearing petition must be filed within 18 days following entry of the order; thus Posin's rehearing petition must be filed by July 21, 2008.] fn3[ The Honorable Nancy Saitta, Justice, did not participate in the decision of this matter.]		08-18182

NRAP 40(c). fn2[ In denying the rehearing petition, we also deny Posin's alternative request to allow him to continue representing Social Security claimants during his suspension, although it appears that such a request must be determined by the Social Security Administration. We note that our July 15, 2008, order permitting Posin to represent a particular client until completion of the criminal trial in federal district court remains in effect.]		08-22718
