2. As a result, Bedrock lacks standing to prosecute or defend this or any other action.

See Paradise Creations, Inc. v. UV Sales, Inc., 315 F.3d 1304 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (holding

suspended but revived corporation to lack Art. III standing because standing is measured as of

the commencement of suit).

3. Bedrock may regain its corporate status and will decide at that time whether, and of

so in what form, to rebring its action. Should Bedrock rebring its action, the United States

may decide to rebring its counterclaim of conversion by Bedrock.

4. The United States completed process service of its third-party complaint against

First American Title Insurance Company on September 17, 2010, and has an amended thirdparty complaint, naming First American but not Bedrock, to file as of right under Fed. R. Civ.

P. 15(a)(1)(A) within this action.

Stipulations

5. The Complaint filed May 3, 2010, is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

6. As against Bedrock, the United States' counterclaim for conversion, which is part of

the United States’ CounterClaim and Third-Party Complaint for Conversion filed August 17,

2010, is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

7. The United States' Amended Third-Party Complaint for Conversion, still naming

First American Title Insurance Company as third-party defendant, is submitted herewith for

filing as of right.
