LIEN HOLDER WHOSE RIGHTS ARE AFFECTED: JOON M. YANG 

EDWARD SEWON EHEE ("Ehee") moves as follows: 

RELIEF REQUESTED 

By this Motion Ehee requests entry of an amended order authorizing him to sell that

 EHEE’S MOT. FOR AMENDED ORDER AUTH. SALE 

FREE OF LIEN, No. C07-3996 SI 

-2- 

YANG LIEN” originally filed on November 6, 2007 under Case No. C 06-06966 SI (refiled 

under this Case No. December 3, 2007) provided however that the proposed sale shall be subject 

to an addendum dated December 7, 2007 to the original purchase contract. The December 7, 

2007 addendum provides, in substance, that the buyers are to be credited at closing for $30,000 

towards certain requested repairs, that pending closing of the sale the buyers agreed to increase 

their earnest money deposit to $50,000, and that the buyers have removed all other contingencies 

to the contract. A copy of the December 7, 2007 addendum is attached to the accompanying 

declaration of Edward Ehee dated December 11, 2007 filed in support of this motion. 

BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED 

As detailed in his December 11 declaration, Ehee believes the proposed purchase contract, 

as amended, is in the best interests of all parties given current market conditions. The proposed 

buyers have refused to proceed with the sale under the original terms on the grounds that their 

physical inspections of the property revealed the need for more than $40,000 in estimated repairs. 

The buyers have requested credit for those repairs. The $30,000 credit contemplated by the 

December 7, 2007 addendum represents what Ehee believes to be a reasonable compromise of 

that request. 

WHEREFORE, the Ehee requests that the Court enter an order authorizing the relief 

requested in this Motion as set forth in the proposed order attached hereto as Exhibit A. Debtor 

believes that Exhibit A substantially restates the relief granted by the Court in its December 3, 

2007 order except insofar as it approves the terms of the December 7 addendum.

Respectfully submitted, 

/s/ James D. Wood
