IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHICAGO TITLE CO., CASE NO. CV F 07-285 LJO DLB

Plaintiff, ORDER AFTER HEARING ON ORDER TO

vs. SHOW CAUSE; SANCTIONS VACATED

AGAINST EDWARD RUSSELL 

CECIL MORRIS, et al.

Defendants.

 /

This matter came on for hearing on October 24, 2007 for an Order to Show Cause directed at

plaintiff Chicago Title Company for ignoring court orders. Chicago Title appeared by telephone by

counsel Michael J. Fox. Defendant the United States appeared by telephone by counsel Kari Larson.

Defendant Cecil Morris appeared by counsel Glenn Wilson. After considering the Court file and

arguments of counsel, the Court finds that, in this case, Chicago Title improperly delegated attorney

duties to a paralegal within the Legal Department. According, this Court orders as follows:

1. VACATES the sanctions imposed upon attorney Edward Russell, and

2. CONFIRMS the sanctions imposed upon Chicago Title of denying any recovery of

attorneys fees and/or costs related to the filing and prosecuting of this interpleader action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 24, 2007 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
