ORDER RESOLVING

REMANDED ISSUE

Upon remand from the Ninth Circuit, the Court previously ordered the parties to

recalculate the aggregate amount of funds necessary to pay only pre-judgment (and not

post-judgment) attorney’s fees and litigation costs as necessaries for support under California

Civil Procedure Code § 487.020. In light of the global settlement agreement in the related

litigation (Case No. 03-2502), resolving all outstanding issues, it is unnecessary for the parties

to engage in any retrospective accounting of such funds. An aggregate amount based on the

prior estimates of Special Master Thomas Klitgaard would be sufficient. The parties shall

submit a proposed order by OCTOBER 5, 2005.

In any event, the Court recognizes that the issue is likely moot because the Hoge

defendants specifically released and waived all rights granted under the Order of Exemption as

part of the global settlement agreement.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
