JUAN MEDINA, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

ARGENT MORTGAGE COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C05-02905 HRL

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

DISMISSAL OF REMAINING CLAIMS

AND DEFENDANTS WITH PREJUDICE

[Re: Docket No. 252]

Plaintiffs move to dismiss with prejudice all claims against the remaining defendants,

with the parties to bear their own attorney’s fees and costs. There has been no opposition to the

motion. Moreover, in view of plaintiffs’ representations (a) as to their limited financial

resources (and their belief that any such costs might, in any event, be subject to the criminal

restitution orders plaintiffs obtained as to the remaining defendants); and (b) the remaining

defendants’ apparent refusal to respond to plaintiffs’ efforts within the past year to settle this

matter, the court will grant the motion. Accordingly, plaintiffs’ claims against Summit

Mortgage Realty, Inc., Herman Michael Covarrubias, Esperanza Valverde, and Cesar Ponte

(aka Cesar Valverde)1

 are dismissed with prejudice. The parties shall bear their own fees
