Honorable Vaughn R. Walker

Plaintiff TAIWAN CIVIL RIGHTS LITIGATION ORGANIZATION (TCRLO)

requests the Court to continue the Case Management Conference set for June 10, 2010 for

either 30 days, to July 8, 2010, or to decalender the conference for the reason that defendant

KUOMINTANG BUSINESS MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (KBMC) has not appeared,

has been served, and plaintiff is moving for a Clerk’s Default. 

The apparent appearance of defendant KBMC by the so-called Three People

Principles Foundation (3PPF) appears to be no more than an officious intermeddler in their

improper Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 3, 4, & 5) of March 1, 2010.

Request for Continuance of Case Management Conference ~ Page 2 of 4

As defendant KBMC has not appeared, and refuses to communicate with plaintiff

there is no possibility of a joint status conference statement being filed on June 3, 2010, as

ordered by the Court (Doc.5-1, April 5, 2010); nor any use for a Case Management

Conference on June 11, 2010.

Plaintiff is preparing to file a certificate of service pursuant to FRCP Rule

4(f)(2)(C)(ii) and a motion for a clerk’s default.

DATED: June 1, 2010. Respectfully submitted 

 /s/ Thomas Easton 

Of Attorneys for Plaintiff TCRLO

DECLARATION OF THOMAS EASTON IN SUPPORT

I, Thomas Easton, declare the following:

1. I am an attorney admitted to the Courts of the State of California and to this Court,

and am counsel of record for plaintiff TCRLO in this action and I have personal knowledge

of the facts contained in this declaration and if called as a witness I could and would testify

competently to said facts.

2. A woman claiming to be of the Three People Principles Foundation (sic), and also

defendant KBMC, telephoned me shortly after the documents for the motion to dismiss were

filed (Doc. 3, 4, & 5), but she had poor English skills and was unintelligible to me.

3. Apparently the same woman telephoned my colleague, Jonathan Levy, repeatedly

after that and abused him verbally, taunting him by claiming they had no money and we

would never be able to collect anything from this lawsuit.

4. I have written the 3PPF at their Alhambra address and have received no reply.

5. We therefore conclude that 3PPF is merely an officious intermeddler and does not

in fact represent defendant KBMC, and thus impossible to make a joint status statement.

6. We are preparing our Request for Clerk’s Default against KBMC as KBMC was

served pursuant to FRCP Rule 4(f)(2)(C)(ii) on April 12, 2010 and has filed no responsive

pleading.
