ORDER RE DEFENDANT

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK

N.A.’S MOTION TO

VACATE ACCEPTANCE OF

OFFER OF JUDGMENT

On May 19, 2010, plaintiff filed an acceptance of defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.’s

Rule 68 offer of judgment in this matter. On May 20, 2010, defendant JPMorgan Chase filed a

notice asserting that the acceptance was invalid because the Rule 68 offer had already been

revoked based on inadvertence, mistake, and fraud. In particular, defendant JPMorgan Chase

asserts that it had informed plaintiff that the offer was contingent on plaintiff’s dismissal of

defendants David Ristedt and Noemi Nunez in both this lawsuit and a nearly identical lawsuit in
