IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ROE, et al.,

Plaintiffs

 v.

THOMAS WHITE, 

Defendant. /

No. C 03-04035 CRB

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT

WHITE’S OBJECTIONS TO SPECIAL

MASTER’S REPORT NO. 2

Defendant’s objections to the Special Master’s Report No. 2 are DENIED. As this

Court has repeatedly noted, defendant’s liability in this action has been finally established

and was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. The purpose of the Special Master’s investigation is

to assist in the resolution of a dispute involving the representation of plaintiffs, and to

discover additional facts relevant to the Court’s decision on an award of attorneys’ fees to

plaintiffs’ counsel; it has nothing to do with defendant White.

Moreover, the Special Master proceedings are not complete, and the Special Master is

preparing a Report which includes factual findings related to, among other things, the

arrangements between plaintiffs’ counsel and the guardian ad litem.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 12, 2007
