 1. Travelers application for writs of attachment, or alternatively for temporary 

protective orders (collectively, Documents 6 – 10), came on for hearing before this Court on 

December 7, 2007. 

 2. Travelers’ application was to secure Travelers’ rights as to the following real 

property: 

Defendant Name APN Number Real Property Address 

Sidney B. Dunmore 050-040-038

9220 Royal Crest Court, 

Granite Bay, CA 95746

Sidney B. Dunmore 652-260-007-6/ 

TRA 018-352 

944 Andreas Canyon Drive, 

Palm Desert, CA 92260 

 3. Travelers’ application was granted as follows: a writ of attachment in the 

amount of $7,800,000 was issued as to the Granite Bay Property, and a temporary 

protective order was issued as to the Palm Desert property. 

 4. The temporary protective order was to allow Travelers to seek an appraisal 

of the Granite Bay property to determine if its net value (i.e., the fair market value of the 

property, less all liens, mortgages and other encumbrances) is greater than or equal to the 

amount to be secured, $7,800,000. 

 5. In lieu of the expense and delay of conducting an appraisal of the Granite 

Bay property, Travelers and Sidney B. Dunmore agree that the Court shall issue a second 

writ of attachment, in the amount of $7,800,000, as to the Palm Desert property. 

6. Travelers and Sidney B. Dunmore agree that Travelers’ application (Documents 

6 – 10) and this Stipulation meet all of the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and California Code of Civil Procedure for the issuance of a writ of attachment in 

the amount of $7,800,000 as to the Palm Desert property. 

7. Travelers and Sidney B. Dunmore agree that the undertaking in the amount of 

$10,000 (Document 42) is also sufficient to secure the issuance of a second writ of attachment 

for the Palm Desert property, and no other undertaking needs to be submitted for the issuance 

of a second writ of attachment for the Palm Desert property.

of a second writ of attachment for the Palm Desert property.
