EX PARTE APPLICATION - CONTINUANCE - 2:08-CV-00177-WBS (KJMx)

I David M. Arbogast declare:

1. I am an active member of the State Bar of California and I am a member of the Bar of

this Court. I am one of the attorneys of record for Plaintiffs in this action.

2. On January 24, 2008, the Original Class Action Complaint in this matter was filed. To

the best of my knowledge, the Original Complaint was not served or sent out for service;

3. On February 20, 2008, I submitted a Substitution of Attorneys replacing former counsel,

Lori E. Andrus, Micha Star Liberty, Jennie Lee Anderson of the law firm of Andrus, Liberty and

Anderson and on February 22, 2008, the Court signed and entered the Order for Substitution of Counsel;

4. On February 25, 2008, I caused to be filed Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). 

Shortly thereafter, I caused the FAC to be sent out for service;

5. It has been reported to me by our process server that Defendant Loan Center of

California, Inc., is no longer in business. It was also reported to me that substitute service was made on

Defendant March 11, 2008 and a copy served via mail on March 19, 2008.

6. Based on the information obtained to date, Plaintiff is informed and believes that the

Option ARM loans that are the subject of this Complaint are no longer owned or in the possession of

Defendant, Loan Center of California, and have been either sold or assigned to other persons or entities.

Plaintiff is further informed and believes that the subsequent purchasers and assignees have liability

under the Truth-in-Lending Act, pursuant to 15 USC § 1641.

7. Plaintiff therefore believes that good cause exists to continue the initial pretrial

scheduling conference for a period of 60 to 90 days so that Plaintiff can conduct additional informal

discovery to obtain the identities of such other persons or entities or if need be, to take discovery against

those persons or entities who may have knowledge of the subsequent purchasers and assignees of the

loans that are the subject of this action.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the

foregoing is true and correct and was executed in the State of California on March 31, 2008.

 /s/ David M. Arbogast David M. Arbogast
