Case No.: C 10-0650 PVT

ORDER SOLICITING

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING 

AND CONTINUING HEARING

Currently scheduled for hearing on June 29, 2010, are motions to dismiss filed by various

Defendants. However, it has come to the court’s attention that the Plaintiffs allege in their complaint

that they filed bankruptcy proceedings shortly before filing this action. Thus, before holding a

hearing on the pending motions to dismiss, the court needs to ascertain whether a trustee has been

appointed, and if so whether Plaintiffs have standing to bring this action. See 8A C.J.S. Bankruptcy

§ 105 (“Where at the time suit is brought, legal capacity to sue belongs to the trustee in bankruptcy, a

debtor in bankruptcy generally lacks standing to bring suit”). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, no later than July 6, 2010, Plaintiffs shall file a

supplemental brief informing the court of the status of their bankruptcy proceedings, whether a

trustee has been appointed, and if a trustee has been appointed, addressing the issue of whether they

have standing to bring this action.

Plaintiffs’ supplemental brief no later than July 13, 2010.
