No. CV-07-955-PHX-FJM

ORDER

Defendants Simon’s Memorandum of Law, docket # 79, and Defendant

Gernak’s Joinder Memorandum, docket # 80, do not comply with the undersigned’s

August 28, 2008 written order, docket # 76, and the oral instructions clearly given to

counsel at the August 27, 2008 hearing. Moreover, counsel demonstrate a lack of

understanding of the order of things in a United States District Court. If the non-defaulted

Defendants desire to defer the default damages hearing until the trial of this case, a

decision contrary to the July 7, 2008 referral order, docket # 63, it is the decision of the

assigned District Judge to make, not the referred Magistrate Judge. A memorandum was

only needed in the event defense counsel of the non-defaulted Defendants did or did not

wish to participate in the default damages hearing and, if so, the extent of that participation.

Accordingly,

DATED this 11th day of September, 2008.
