MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Re: Bankruptcy Appeal

On November 27, 2006 appellant E. Lynn Schoenmann as Chapter 11 Trustee of the Estate

of John A. and Danielle T. Ryan (“Trustee”) filed this appeal challenging the bankruptcy court’s 

October 12, 2006 order granting summary judgment to Nicklos and Charles Ciolino, Daniel

Delorenzi, Robert Aguilar, and Stephen Daniele (“the Ciolinos”) and denying summary adjudication

to Chazen. On December 29, 2006 this action was related to Chazen v. Ciolino, No. C 06-06606

MHP because they involved substantially similar issues arising from the same bankruptcy dispute. 

On May 16, 2007 the court issued an order in Chazen. The parties agree that the May 16, 2007

order disposes of the Trustee’s appeal in this matter. See Appellant’s Reply at 1; Appellees’ Br. at 2.

 In that order, the court concluded that the bankruptcy court was correct when it held that the

Ciolino’s liens related back to the prejudgment writs of attachment in the underlying action,

although the court reversed in part the bankruptcy court’s determination of the amount of the

Ciolino’s claims that relate back to the pre-judgment attachment liens. Because the Trustee’s

appeal in the instant matter concerned the relation back of the Ciolino’s liens, the court need not

reconsider that issue here. Accordingly, the Trustee’s appeal is DENIED. The Clerk of the Court is

directed to close the file on this action forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
