INTERIM ORDER RE SUMMIT

DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST TO EXTEND

STAY

Counsel for defendants Summit Mortgage Realty, Esperanza Valverde, Herman

Covarrubias and Cesar Valverde (aka Cesar Ponte) (the “Summit Defendants”) filed a “Status

Report on Related Criminal Proceedings.” They request a further stay of the instant lawsuits

through June 30, 2007 in view of the ongoing criminal action against them. There apparently is

no objection to the requested extension in Case No. C05-02904 HRL (the Rodriguez Action). 

However, the plaintiffs in Case No. C05-02905 (the Medina Action) oppose any further

extension of the stay. Upon consideration of the papers filed by the parties, the court issues the

*ORDER E-FILED ON 1/30/07*

following interim order:

1. The Summit Defendants may file a reply to the Medina plaintiffs’ objection. 

Any such reply shall be filed no later than February 6, 2007.

2. Given the importance of the apparent interests at issue, the court will hold a

hearing on the matter on February 27, 2007, 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 2 to allow all interested

parties a forum in which to discuss their concerns. (The tentative status conference which was

set for that date is taken off calendar).

3. The stay of these civil proceedings is extended for approximately thirty days

through February 27, 2007. The court finds that plaintiffs will not be prejudiced by this brief

interim extension while defendants’ request for a further extension is pending.
