Case No. 10-1561 SC 

ORDER GRANTING 

MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE PARTY 

 Now before the Court is a motion by Plaintiff Andrea Wirum, 

Trustee in Bankruptcy for PlusFive Holdings, L.P. ("PlusFive 

Holdings"), to substitute PlusFive Claims, LLC ("PlusFive Claims") 

as the Plaintiff in this action. ECF No. 5 ("Mot."). Defendants 

0713401 B.C. Ltd. and Sharrie Cutshall ("Defendants") have not 

filed a response to this Motion. 

 PlusFive Holdings' suit arises out of its pending bankruptcy 

proceeding. No. 06-10307 (Bankr. N.D. Cal.). PlusFive Holdings 

claims that Defendants are alter egos that jointly owe it money in 

unpaid promissory notes. ECF No. 1 ("Compl.") ¶¶ 10, 20. PlusFive 

Holdings now seeks to substitute PlusFive Claims as the Plaintiff 

in this action, and attach in support of their Motion an order by 

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Alan Jaroslovsky authorizing PlusFive 

Holdings to assign its claims against Defendants to PlusFive

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California 

Claims. Order Authorizing Sale of Intangible Assets, No. 06-10307 

(Bankr. N.D. Cal. May 4, 2010), ECF No. 6-1. 

 PlusFive Holdings makes this Motion pursuant to Rule 25(c) of 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which provides: "If an 

interest is transferred, the action may be continued by or against 

the original party unless the court, on motion, orders the 

transferee to be substituted in the action or joined with the 

original party. The motion must be served as provided in Rule 

25(a)(3)." Rule 25(a)(3) states: "A motion to substitute, together 

with a notice of hearing, must be served on the parties as provided 

in Rule 5 and on nonparties as provided in Rule 4." On June 9, 

2010, PlusFive Holdings served Defendants with its Complaint, 

Summons, and Motion to Substitute -- which included a notice of 

hearing -- and it has filed a Proof of Service with the Court. ECF 

No. 8 ("Proof of Service"). 

 Because PlusFive Holdings has complied with Rule 25(c), the 

Court GRANTS its Motion to Substitute. Andrea Wirum, Trustee in 

Bankruptcy for PlusFive Holdings, L.P., shall be removed as 

Plaintiff. PlusFive Claims, LLC, shall be added as Plaintiff. 

PlusFive Claims, LLC, shall serve this Order on Defendants 0713401 

B.C. Ltd. and Sharrie Cutshall and file with the Court a Proof of 

Service within five (5) days of this Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: August 25, 2010
