cited in their briefs, they are ORDERED to notify the Court and opposing counsel of these

authorities reasonably in advance of the hearing and to make copies available at the hearing. If

the parties submit such additional authorities, they are ORDERED to submit the citations to the

The parties shall each have 15 minutes to address the following questions:

1. Proposed intervenor Cincom iOutsource, Inc. (“Debtor”) asserts that it seeks to

intervene as a defendant in this matter. 

a. Does the Debtor seek to intervene as a defendant in the action filed by plaintiff

Universal Equipment Leasing Company, LLC (“UEL”) against defendant and

third party plaintiff Fifth Third Leasing Company (“FTLC”), or does the Debtor

seek to intervene in the third-party complaint filed by FTLC against the Debtor’s

parent company Cincom Systems, Inc. (“Cincom”)?

b. Does the Debtor seek to intervene in order to assert affirmative claims against

Cincom as well, or does the Debtor merely seek to intervene as a defendant?

2. If the Court grants the Debtor’s motion to intervene, do the parties dispute whether the

Court has the authority to stay this action sua sponte? 

3. If the Court grants the Debtor’s motion to intervene but does not stay this action sua

sponte, by when will the Debtor file a motion to stay this action? 

4. How does UEL’s claim against FTLC, considered separately from FTLC’s third-party

complaint against Cincom, affect the Debtor’s estate?

5. Assuming that Cincom is the alter ego of the Debtor, does UEL dispute that FTLC’s

third-party complaint against Cincom may deplete the Debtor’s estate? If so, on what

authority does UEL rely?

6. What are FTLC’s, Cincom’s and the Debtor’s respective positions as to whether this

Court has discretion to sever the third-party complaint from UEL’s claim against FLTC

and if so, whether the Court should exercise such discretion to sever this matter?

7. Do the parties have anything further they wish to address?
