Case No. 16-cv-01134-JSW 

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE FOR 

REPLY BRIEFS RE APPOINTMENT 

OF RECEIVER AND VACATING 

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF 

NAMES AND POWERS OF RECEIVER 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 24, 28, 30, 40, 50, 58, 66, 68 

The Court has reviewed the parties’ briefs on the question of whether the Court should 

appoint a receiver, a special master, or neither. 

With regard to the possible appointment of a receiver, Plaintiff requests the opportunity to 

respond to any new evidence submitted by Defendants. This request is GRANTED IN PART. By 

April 19, 2016, Plaintiff may file a reply brief of not more than five pages, plus supporting 

evidence, to respond to Defendants’ contention that Plaintiff has failed to provide Defendants with 

meaningful and complete information about the current operations of the subject winery and has 

failed to participate adequately in the meet and confer process. (E.g., Dkt. No. 68, at 7 (PDF 10); 

Dkt. No. 68-1, at ¶ 4 & Exh. 2.) Plaintiff is reminded that factual contentions must be supported 

by “pin” citations to the specific portions of the record, not merely by general allusions to 

declarations. 

By April 22, 2016, Defendants may file a sur-reply, not to exceed five pages plus 

supporting evidence, responding only to any new evidence raised by Plaintiff in the reply brief. 

Further, the Court VACATES that portion of its March 23, 2016 order requiring the 

parties, by April 15, 2016, to submit proposed names and responsibilities, duties, and powers of 

the receiver or special master. (Dkt. No. 40, at 5:21-26.) These deadlines may be re-set by further
