ORDER GRANTING IN PART 

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO 

SHORTEN TIME ON MOTION TO 

EXPUNGE; ADVANCING HEARING 

ON MOTION TO DISMISS AND 

MOTION TO STRIKE; SETTING 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE 

 

 On December 30, 2010, Defendant Wells Fargo filed a motion to shorten time for the 

hearing on its motion to expunge the lis pendens. The motion to expunge is currently set for 

hearing on February 17, 2011, along with Wells Fargo’s pending motion to dismiss and motion to 

strike the Second Amended Complaint. Wells Fargo represents that it has found a buyer for the 

property concerned in this case; that it cannot proceed with the sale until the lis pendens is 

expunged; and that the buyer will likely retreat from the sale if forced to wait until the scheduled 

hearing date to complete the transaction. The Court agrees that these circumstances present good

United States District Court 

For the Northern District of California 

cause to shorten the time for hearing the motion to expunge. However, because the issues 

presented in the motion to expunge are intertwined with the issues in the motion to dismiss and 

motion to strike, the Court believes that all three motions should be heard together. Accordingly, 

in order to provide the parties sufficient time to brief the motions, the Court will reschedule the 

hearing for January 27, 2011, with briefing as follows: 

(1) Plaintiffs shall file opposition briefs to Defendant’s motion to dismiss, motion to strike, and 

motion to expunge the lis pendens by January 18, 2011. 

(2) Defendant may file a reply by January 21, 2011. 

(3) The Court will hold a hearing on the motion to dismiss, motion to strike, and motion to 

expunge the lis pendens on January 27, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. 

In order to ensure that Plaintiffs receive prompt notice of the revised motion schedule, Defendant is 

ordered to serve this order on Plaintiffs at the email address that Defendant has used to 

communicate with them. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
