Section 105 – Stay of proceedings.

• (1) If at any point during an action or proceeding it appears that a plaintiff or defendant is a service member and in the conduct of the proceedings may be adversely affected by the service member’s state military service, the court may, on its own motion, stay the proceedings.

• (2) The court may stay the proceedings if the service member or another individual on the service member’s behalf makes a request in writing to the court, unless the court determines on the record that the ability of the plaintiff to pursue the action or the defendant to conduct a defense is not materially affected by reason of the service member’s state military service.
