UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EL DORADO IRRIGATION DISTRICT,

a political subdivision of the

State of California,

NO. CIV. S-03-949 LKK/GGH

Plaintiff,

v. O R D E R

TRAYLOR BROS., INC., an 

Indiana corporation,

Defendant.

 /

AND RELATED COUNTER-CLAIMS.

 /

A hearing was held on December 2, 2005 on defendants’ motion

to reconsider the court’s order denying summary judgment on the

fraud cause of action. During the hearing, the court expressed

skepticism about whether there was truly a risk of personal injury

created by the alleged faulty construction of the tunnel. 

Plaintiffs offered to submit an affidavit which provided evidence

which could demonstrate the true risk posed.

1 During argument, the court set the matter for hearing on

February 13, 2006, but upon further consideration the court will

only set the matter for hearing if it appears necessary following

receipt of the evidence. 

2

Accordingly, the court hereby ORDERS as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs shall submit to the court any additional

evidence on the risk of personal injury created by the dip in the

tunnel by January 17, 2006; and 

2. Defendants shall respond by February 1, 2006.1 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: December 5, 2005.
