A judge has denied a request by former West Linn Dr. David Farley to put a two-year hold on a civil case filed against him by 29 patients who allege he sexually abused them.
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Melvin Oden-Orr noted in his ruling Monday that “for some plaintiffs, 17 years have already passed. This consideration weighs heavily against granting the stay.”

The Multnomah County Circuit Court has rejected a motion to stay the civil lawsuit against former West Linn doctor David Farley.
Farley s lawyers asked for the stay or a two-year delay in proceedings of the lawsuit while criminal investigations into alleged sex abuse by Farley took place. According to court records, Farley s attorneys requested the stay because Farley will be required to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination because the same conduct is at issue in this civil case.
