claims against Argent. Both motions were noticed for a July 15, 2008 motion hearing. No

objection or opposition has been filed, and the deadline for filing any such papers has passed.

defendants Summit Mortgage Realty, Inc., Herman Covarrubias, Esperanza Valverde and Cesar

Valverde (aka Cesar Ponte) (collectively, the “Summit Defendants”). While attorney Philip

Adleson was permitted to withdraw on condition that papers could continue to be served on him

for forwarding purposes, there is also no indication that he has actually done so with respect to

the instant motions. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

1. The July 15, 2008 motion hearing is VACATED.

2. No later than July 7, 2008, the parties shall file a proof of service as to the

Summit Defendants or Adleson shall file proof that the papers have been forwarded.

3. Assuming the Summit Defendants have not yet been given notice, they shall

have 10 court days from the date of service in which to file a response. If no response is filed

by that date, then the court will proceed to decide the motions on the papers submitted.

Dated:
