United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRIPLE A MACHINE SHOP INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

THOMAS G. OLSEN,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-02371 CRB

ORDER

Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file motion for reconsideration is DENIED. Triple A

understandably seeks to terminate its payments into the Special Fund, but granting such relief

would render the Court’s sanction compensatory. See United States v. United Mine

Workers, 330 U.S. 258, 304 (1947). Judge Mapes sought – and the Court purposefully

imposed – a sanction designed to coerce Olsen into participating in an adjudication of the 33

U.S.C. § 922 proceeding. That Triple A may continue to pay for Olsen’s delay is of no

moment; the Court’s singular goal is to pressure Olsen into adjudicating Triple A’s claim and

the Court believes the current sanction will most appropriately and capably effectuate that

result.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
