Colorado Revised Statutes Title 28. Military and Veterans § 28-3-1403. Stay of civil proceedings

Any court of competent jurisdiction may, on its own motion, stay any civil action or proceeding that involves a person described in section 28-3-1402 for the duration of the period of service or duty and for thirty days thereafter, or may otherwise dispose of the case as may be equitable to conserve the interests of all parties. The court shall stay the proceedings upon the application of a person, or an agent of the person, engaged in state military service or state defense force active duty unless, in the opinion of the court, the ability of the person to prosecute or defend the action is not materially affected.
