ORDER RE SUMMIT DEFENDANTS’

REQUEST TO EXTEND STAY OF

PROCEEDINGS

[Re: C04-02904, Docket No. 74]

[Re: C05-02905, Docket No. 192]

Summit Mortgage Realty, Esperanza Valverde, Herman Covarrubias and Cesar

Valverde (the “Summit Defendants”) request a 90-day extension of the stay of the instant

actions in view of the ongoing state criminal proceedings against them. They indicate that trial

in the criminal matter is set to begin on April 7, 2008.

the stay would remain in effect until the completion of the criminal trial and the entry of a

judgment by the state court. (See Docket #35). The Summit Defendants shall continue to

provide monthly status reports as to the progress of the criminal case as previously ordered. 

The April 29, 2008 case management conference is continued to May 6, 2008, 10:00 a.m. A

joint case management statement shall be filed by April 29, 2008.

As for Medina, et al. v. Argent Mortgage Company, et al., (the “Medina Action”),

plaintiffs oppose any further extension of the stay. Indeed, in its last order on this issue, this

court indicated that it was disinclined to extend the stay yet again. The Summit Defendants’

request is denied. The April 29, 2008 case management conference is continued to May 6,

2008, 10:00 a.m. A joint case management statement shall be filed by April 29, 2008.
