Civil No. 07cv767-L(NLS)

ORDER DENYING EX PARTE

MOTION FOR ORDER

APPOINTING SUBSTITUTE

CUSTODIAN

On April 26, 2007 Plaintiff filed an Ex Parte Motion for Order Appointing Substitute

Custodian and Order Authorizing Movement and Inspection of Defendant Vessel. The motion is

denied for several reasons. 

First, the Certification of Robert McKee is made on information and belief only. Since

the certification pertains to Mr. McKee’s qualifications, services, insurance and similar matters,

as well as the price for his services, there appears to be no reason why the certification should

not be made based on first hand knowledge. Furthermore, it is unclear whether moorage is

included in, or additional to, the price for Mr. McKee’s services. Last, the findings stated in the

proposed order, which Plaintiff proposes the court make, specifically with respect to the

substitute custodian insurance and the price of substitute custodian’s services relative to the cost
