No. C 99-02169 SI

ORDER TO BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE

FOR DARREN AND JARETT LEZDEY

TO MAKE SHOWING RE:

PROSECUTION OF COUNTERCLAIMS

Counsel for the Chapter 7 Trustee of the estates of Darren and Jarett Lezdey, Andrew W.

Lennox, has requested an additional 60 days to “make a final determination as to [the] value vis a vis

prosecution or dismissal” of the counterclaims by Darren and Jarett Lezdey still pending in this action.

These counterclaims were filed in 1999 and are currently the only remaining claims in this

action. Bankruptcy proceedings for Darren and Jarett Lezdey were initiated in April, 2005 and were

converted to Chapter 7 in October, 2005. Unaccountably, the Trustee waited until July, 2006 to file a

Suggestion of Bankruptcy in this action and did not, until ordered to do so by this Court in September,

2006, provide any indication whether the Trustee would prosecute these claims.

Because the delays in this matter have been substantial already, and have not been explained at

all by the Trustee’s September 18, 2006 Statement, the Court is reluctant to approve still further delays

in the case. However, in an effort to provide all parties the opportunity to resolve these matters in a fair

and efficient manner, the Trustee’s request for an additional 60 day delay is GRANTED.

The Trustee shall file, on or before Wednesday, November 15, 2006, a statement indicating

whether he intends to file an appearance in this action and actively prosecute the counterclaims against

Arriva, or whether the counterclaims have been sold, assigned and/or dismissed by stipulation or

otherwise. If the Trustee indicates that he will appear in and prosecute these actions he shall also file,

with his November 15, 2006 statement, a plan for the balance of the litigation, and all remaining parties

shall appear, through counsel or in person, at a Case Management Conference on Friday, November

17, 2006 at 2:00 p.m.. 

If a satisfactory statement is not received by the Court by November 15, 2006 and/or if no

appearance is made on November 17, 2006 as ordered, then these counterclaims will be dismissed for

failure to prosecute.

This order will be served on Darren and Jarett Lezdey at the addresses they provided to the

Court, and at the additional addresses provided to the Court at the last Case Management Conference,

including counsel for the Bankruptcy Trustee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 19, 2006
