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 DENYING MOTION FOR

RECONSIDERATION

Defendant Thomas Olsen moves for reconsideration, requesting that the Court modify

its Order dated January 11, 2008 to provide for a mandatory timeframe within the

Department of Labor must adjudicate Triple A’s request for termination of benefits pursuant

to 33 U.S.C. § 922. The Court is not confident that it has the authority to mandate such a

timeframe, and would decline to do so even if it did. 

As it stands, neither party is wholly content with the Court’s resolution of the

contempt proceeding because Triple A continues to pay monies into a Special Fund that it

does not believe it should have to pay, and Olsen is no longer receiving disability payments

to which he believes he is entitled. While the Court is sympathetic to the plight of both

parties, there is now a significant incentive for all parties to resolve Triple A’s claim in a

timely and efficient fashion.
