United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

THEODORE R. THAYER, et al.,

Defendants

 /

No. C 06-3702 MMC

ORDER DEFERRING RULING ON

STIPULATION

The Court is in receipt of a Stipulation filed today’s date and entered between

plaintiff and three of the four named defendants, specifically, Theodore Thayer, Christine

Bush, and State of California, Franchise Tax Board.

By said stipulation, the above-referenced parties seek to continue the Status

Conference from May 25, 2007 to September 7, 2007. Because the September date is

after the dates set for the Pretrial Conference and Trial, the Stipulation contains an implicit

request to vacate the Pretrial Conference and Trial dates. The fourth defendant, Mortgage

Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc., is not a signatory to the stipulation, however, nor is

there any indication in the docket as to whether said party has been served or has a

potential interest in the subject property.

Further, if the Court does vacate the Pretrial Conference and Trial dates, the Court

is not inclined to maintain the matter on the Court’s calendar, as opposed to entering a

dismissal conditioned on compliance with the terms of the settlement, absent a

particularized showing of need therefor.

Accordingly, the Court will DEFER ruling on the Stipulation until Thursday, May 24,

2007, at 1:00 p.m., to afford the parties thereto the opportunity to file one or more

declarations addressing the status of said fourth defendant and the need, if any, for a

continuance rather than a 90-120 day conditional dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 22, 2007
