IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD ALVARADO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION,

Defendant. /

No. C 04-0098 SI

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’

MOTION TO EXTINGUISH LIENS

Plaintiffs have filed a motion to extinguish liens filed by various lienholders. Pursuant to Civil

Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court determines that the matter is appropriate for resolution without oral

argument, and VACATES the May 23, 2008 hearing. As plaintiffs’ counsel is well aware, there are

several pending motions related to the ultimate disposition of the interpleaded funds, including the

parties’ upcoming motions regarding the Special Master’s decision on Ms. Parker’s standing to seek

fees. The instant motion is premature, and the Court will not consider whether the lienholders are

entitled to any recovery until the Court first resolves the attorneys’ fees issues. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES plaintiffs’ motion. (Docket No. 1052). Relatedly, the Court

will not approve the stipulation between Mr. Davis and Mr. McCoy at this time; the Court will consider

that settlement and stipulation at the time the Court resolves the competing claims to the interpleaded

funds. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
