INITIAL EX PARTE REQUEST FOR ORDER

CONTINUING SCHEDULING

CONFERENCE, and ORDER

Old Date & Time: 12/6/2005 at 9:15a.m.

before Judge Snyder

NEW DATE & TIME: 

JANUARY 24, 2006 AT 9:15 A.M.

before Judge Snyder

The United States requests that the scheduling conference in this case set for

December 6, 2005, at 9 a.m. before the Honorable Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder be

continued to a date approximately 30 days later. All defendants are in agreement with this

request, and plaintiff has not yet responded to a contact. 

Defendants Ronald D. Kolkka and Fran Kolkka filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition in

bankruptcy on October 14, 2005, with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern

District of California, Case No. 05-62248-B-7. The property at issue in this interpleader case

is property of the bankruptcy estate of the Kolkkas. This action is stayed as a matter of law. 

11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(3). Any action to further this case subjects the parties to the possibility of

liability for damages for violation of the automatic stay. In Re Grogg, 295 B.R. 297 (Bankr.

C.D. Ill 2003) (filing interpleader with respect to property of the estate violates stay).
