SAN JOSE DIVISION

Morelli Taylor Sportfishing and Marine Supply,

LLC, d.b.a. Leo’s SportFishing,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Dan Robin Catalano, et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 07-04947 JW 

ORDER SETTING HEARING ON

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO VACATE

ORDER OF ARREST OF VESSEL FOR

OCTOBER 11, 2007 AT 1:30 P.M.

On September 25, 2007, Morelli Taylor Sportfishing and Marine Supply, LLC, a California

limited liability company doing business as Leo’s SportFishing (“Plaintiff”), filed a Verified

Complaint against Dan Robin Catalano (“Defendant”) in personam and against his vessel in rem

alleging, inter alia, causes of action for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and account stated. 

(Verified Complaint, Docket Item No. 1.) That same day, Judge Ronald Whyte ordered the arrest of

Defendant’s vessel. (Order for Issuance of Warrant of Arrest of Vessel, Docket Item No. 5; Warrant

for Arrest of Vessel, Docket Item No. 6.) 

On October 3, Defendant noticed a Motion to Vacate the Order of Arrest before Magistrate

Judge Lloyd for an October 9, 2007 hearing date. (Motion to Vacate the Order of Arrest, Docket

Item No. 7.) However, due to the potentially dispositive nature of Defendant’s motion and

Plaintiff’s indication that it would decline to proceed before Judge Lloyd, the case was reassigned to

this Court and the hearing was vacated. (Order Reassigning Case, Docket Item No. 13.)
