IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN OSANITSCH,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 MARCONI PLC, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-03988 CRB

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Now before the Court are defendant’s motion to dismiss and plaintiff’s motion to

remand. For the reasons stated in open court on February 3, 2006, the motion to dismiss is

hereby GRANTED and the motion to remand is DENIED. 

The Court finds that the Section 304 Order in United States Bankruptcy Court in the

Southern District of New York permanently enjoins plaintiff from filing this claim in any

other court. A permanent injunction under 11 U.S.C. section 304 is not analogous to the

automatic stay provision of 11 U.S.C. section 362, which is designed to delay other actions to

allow the bankruptcy court time to create a resolution scheme. The order pursuant to section

304, however, pertains to such a resolution scheme and is designed to ensure that all

interested parties act in accordance with the Scheme of Administration. Therefore case law

relied upon by plaintiff regarding section 362 is inapposite and unpersuasive. The permanent

injunction issued by the bankruptcy court bars this action. Defendant’s motion to dismiss is

GRANTED without prejudice to plaintiff re-filing the action in bankruptcy court.
