Contractor’s Appeal Stayed Pending Further Development of Criminal Case Alleging Fraud; Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals No. 59020, Appeal of Public Warehousing Company KSC

Government’s motion to stay consideration of contractor’s appeal of the agency’s denial of its claim for Prompt Payment Act interest is granted, where the government’s affirmative defense of fraud is substantially similar to the allegations made in a criminal indictment filed against the appellant, and where the government’s criminal case could be harmed by discovery in the appeal.
