ORDER VACATING

APRIL 21, 2008 HEARING

AND TAKING MATTER

UNDER SUBMISSION

In this action, the jury returned a verdict for Plaintiffs Joe and Connie Flores against

Defendants for violations of PACA and state law. On January 10, 2005, the court stayed this

action because Defendants had filed bankruptcy. On March 30, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a motion

for an order to calendar a hearing date on a motion to add judgment debtors. On November 28,

2007, the court denied Plailntiffs’ motion to amend judgment to add individuals as Alter Egos of

DDJ Entities. 

The court gave Plaintiffs additional time in which to file a motion for reconsideration of

the November 28, 2007 order. The events concerning the timing of Plaintiffs’ motion for

reconsideration and the due dates for opposition briefs has caused a conflict to arise, and

Plaintiffs are requesting the court to sanction Defendants for not timely filing a brief. 

The court has reviewed the papers and has determined that this matter is suitable for

decision without oral argument. Local Rule 78-230(h). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that the previously set hearing date of April 21, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. is VACATED, and the parties
