JOINT STATUS CONFERENCE STATEMENT 

On November 12, 2008 Plaintiffs Laborers Trust Funds filed their Complaint for 

Damages for Breach of Collective Bargaining Agreement and For a Mandatory Injunction 

(“Complaint”). Plaintiffs seek to conduct an audit of Defendant’s books and records to 

determine if Defendant properly reported and paid its trust fund contributions on behalf of its 

covered workers. Defendant Davis Moreno was served with the lawsuit and filed an answer to 

the complaint on December 5, 2009. Defendant Davis Moreno agreed to allow the audit to be 

conducted, pursuant to the Stipulated Protective Order filed with this Court and without waiving 

any of its legal rights or remedies. 

The audit was completed. The results of audit were provided by Plaintiffs Laborers Trust 

Funds to Defendant Davis Moreno. Defendant Davis Moreno provided the Trust Funds with 

additional information and documentation. Based on this additional information and 

documentation, on December 11, 2009, the Trust Funds presented Davis Moreno, through 

counsel, with the revised audit. To date, the parties have not reached agreement regarding the 

revised audit.
