IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

DAVID C. CLARK, et al.,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 07-3086 MEJ

ORDER VACATING CMC

ORDER REQUESTING BRIEFING RE:

RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL

The Court is in receipt of the parties' Joint Case Management Statement, filed September 10,

2007. Upon review of the statement, the Court finds a case management conference unnecessary

and VACATES the September 20, 2007 Case Management Conference scheduled in this matter. 

Before issuing a case management order, however, the Court notes that Defendants have requested a

jury trial. As the United States commenced this action pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §§ 7401 and 7403, it is

not clear Defendants have the right to a jury trial. Accordingly, the Court requests briefing from the

parties on this issue. Defendants shall file a memorandum by September 25, 2007 in support of their

request for a jury trial. The United States may file a response by October 9, 2007, at which time the

Court shall take the matter under submission. After resolution of this issue, the Court shall issue a

case management order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 11, 2007
