IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE S. LOUIE,

Plaintiff, No. 2:11-cv-00108 JAM KJN PS

v.

STOMER FAMILY 2000 REVOCABLE 

TRUST dba STROMER REALTY, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On June 29, 2012, the court stayed proceedings in this case, including the briefing

on intervening non-party lien claimant Elena Sadur’s motion to set aside the dismissal and

closure of this case, for at least six months in light of plaintiff’s treatment for, among other

serious health problems, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. (Dkt. No. 95.) The court also

required plaintiff and lien claimant Sadur to file status reports on or before December 14, 2012,

indicating whether a live dispute remained vis-a-vis Sadur’s motion to set aside the dismissal of

this case. (Id.)

On December 5, 2012, lien claimant Sadur filed a status report indicating that a

live dispute remains. (Dkt. No. 97.) Thereafter, on December 12, 2012, plaintiff filed a letter

requesting an extension of the stay, indicating that his health still does not allow him to presently

participate in the case. (Dkt. No. 98.) Plaintiff submitted letters from his treating oncologist and

nephrology social worker testifying to the severity of his advanced metastatic squamous cell

cancer and chronic kidney failure, and the associated limitation of his ability to participate in

legal proceedings. (Id.)

In light of this showing, the court finds it appropriate to continue the stay of

proceedings for approximately another six months. Any prejudice to lien claimant Sadur

resulting from a further stay is outweighed by the severity of plaintiff’s medical condition and his

present inability to meaningfully participate and represent his interests in this case. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The stay of all proceedings in this case is CONTINUED for approximately

six months. 

2. On or before July 12, 2013, plaintiff and claimant Sadur shall file status

reports, indicating whether a live dispute remains vis-a-vis Sadur’s motion to set aside the

dismissal of this case, and addressing the status of plaintiff’s health. Thereafter, the court will reinstitute Sadur’s motion, if necessary, and set a further briefing schedule in regards to that

motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATE: January 3, 2013
