UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GIL CROSTHWAITE and RUSS BURNS, in their 

respective capacities as Trustees of the 

OPERATING ENGINEERS’ HEALTH AND 

WELFARE TRUST FUND, et al., 

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

PAUL T. BECK CONTRACTORS, INC., a 

California corporation, 

 Defendant. 

Case No.: C10-0151 SC 

JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT 

STATEMENT AND REQUEST FOR 

CONTINUANCE

Date: July 23, 2010 

Time: 10:00 a.m. 

Courtroom: 1, 17th Floor 

 450 Golden Gate Avenue 

 San Francisco, CA 94102 

Judge: Honorable Samuel Conti 

 Plaintiffs and Defendant jointly request that the Case Management Conference currently 

scheduled for July 23, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. be continued for approximately ninety (90) days, as 

follows: 

 1. As the Court is aware, Plaintiffs and Defendant have been discussing resolution of 

all amounts due to the Trust Funds as Defendant was contemplating receivership. There does not 

appear to be a dispute as to what is owed, but it is uncertain what funds may be available. 

 2. The parties participated in multiple ADR telephone conferences with Daniel 

Bolling, to ensure that the case was moving forward while Defendant was analyzing its financial 

situation. Defendant was considering bankruptcy as an alternate to receivership if it was required.

 3. The most recent ADR conference call was June 10, 2010. Defendant confirmed that 

it was not filing for bankruptcy and that a receiver was appointed. The receiver was going to begin 

valuing all of Defendant’s assets to ascertain what funds would be available to pay Plaintiffs and 

other creditors. Mr. Bolling advised that based on the status he would recommend to the Court that 

the case be referred to mediation, but with an extended deadline so that the valuation could be 

completed. 

4. There is nothing to discuss at a Case Management Conference at the present time 

as the parties are cooperating with one another to move toward resolution. The only issue at 

present is the value of Defendant’s assets, which is being ascertained at the current time. 

 5. We therefore jointly request that the Case Management Conference be continued 

for ninety (90) days to allow the parties ample time to resolve this matter, or in the alternative, set 

and participate in alternative dispute resolution.
