UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELDORADO STONE, LLC, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 04cv2562 JM(CAB)

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

TO CONTINUE HEARING DATE

ON MOTION TO AMEND

JUDGMENT

vs.

RENAISSANCE STONE, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Presently pending before the court is Plaintiffs’ motion to amend the judgment, seeking to

pierce the corporate veil of Renaissance Stone, LLC in order to hold certain shareholders (Scott

Butler, Fallbrook Capital, Inc., and Michael Berguin) of Renaissance Stone liable for an $11,000,000

judgment entered against Renaissance Stone. The hearing date on the motion to amend the judgment

is calendared for September 12, 2008. Eldorado Stone LLC opposes the continuance. Shareholder

Michael Berguin, represented by different counsel, does not oppose the continuance.

Scott Butler and Fallbrook Capital, Inc. (“Movants”) retained The Watkins Firm as new

counsel on or about August 8, 2008. Movants request a continuance of the hearing date until October

2008. This is the second request for a continuance as the parties, on July 18, 2008, jointly stipulated

to a continuance of the original hearing date from August 8, 2008 to September 12, 2008. Movants

retain an expert witness to analyze and respond to Eldorado’s economic expert, the issues are

complex, and they need to obtain additional discovery. The court concludes that the reasons
