Judge Lawrence K. Karlton

On April 30, 2009, this Court filed the Order Appointing Temporary Receiver for Equity 

Investment Management and Trading, Inc. (“EIMT”) and Order to Show Cause for Appointment 

of Permanent Receiver (“OAR”), and on July 31, 2009, the Court filed an Order permanently 

appointing Receiver. Pursuant to the OAR, for good cause shown, and in order to empower and 

authorize the Receiver to carry out his duties and obligations, 

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: 

Receiver’s investigation has revealed potential EIMT assets (money, personal property 

and/or real property) held by third parties in the Western District of Washington. In order to 

assert jurisdiction and control over those assets, under 28 U.S.C. § 754, Receiver was required to 

and did file notice of his appointment in the United States District Court for the Western District 

of Washington, after retaining Washington State counsel, Demco Law Firm, P.S. to do so.

MAIER LLP

Counsel handling the matter is David C. Daniel, whose hourly rate is $225.00, which Receiver 

believes is fair and reasonable for the services needed. 

Local Rule 66-232(g) of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California mandates that a receiver shall not employ an attorney, accountant or investigator 

without first obtaining an order of the Court authorizing such employment, which order may set 

forth a tentative basis for computation of compensation. 

Accordingly, Receiver is hereby authorized to engage the following Washington attorneys 

at the rate indicated, retroactive to June 8, 2009: 

(1) Demco Law Firm, P.S. (Washington Counsel) 

David C. Daniel, $225.00/hour 

Receiver is hereby further authorized to utilize the services of other attorneys and staff at 

Demco Law Firm, P.S., provided that the billing rates of those attorneys and staff are 

commensurate with the rates authorized herein. Notwithstanding this order, the actual 

compensation of the persons employed by Receiver shall be fixed by the Court in conformity with 

Local Rule 66-232(g). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: September 25, 2009
