IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

ALISAL WATER CORPORATION, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number 5:97-cv-20099-JF

ORDER EXTENDING

RECEIVERSHIP THROUGH MAY 31,

2011 WITH RESPECT TO ALCO

AND SAN JERARDO; AND

THEREAFTER EXTENDING THE

RECEIVERSHIP THROUGH

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 WITH

RESPECT TO SAN JERARDO ONLY

[re: dkt entry 949 ]

The County of Monterey, a non-party to this action, seeks an extension of the receivership

through September 30, 2011. On March 30, 2011, the Court extended the receivership for one

month and requested briefing as to the need for a longer extension. Having reviewed the

submissions of the County, the United States, the Receiver, and Alco, the Court concludes as

follows:

It appears that continuing the receivership with respect to San Jerardo may facilitate the

acquisition of grant funds and may streamline the final transfer of San Jerardo to the County, to

 Alco asserts that the County effectively has taken over and is operating the San Jerardo 1

system, and that no further “transfer” is necessary.

the extent that such transfer has not occurred already. However, the Court does not perceive the 1

need to extend the receivership with respect to Alco for any significant length of time. 

Accordingly, the Court will extend the receivership through May 31, 2011 with respect to both

Alco and San Jerardo, and thereafter will extend the receivership through September 30, 2011

with respect to San Jerardo only. It is the Court’s understanding that because the County

effectively has taken over operation of the San Jerardo system, Alco no longer is responsible for

payment of receivership expenses. However, if the Receiver claims that Alco is obligated to pay

any expenses incurred to date, the Receiver shall submit a request for payment on or before May

13, 2011. 

ORDER

(1) The receivership is HEREBY EXTENDED through May 31, 2011 with respect to

Alco and San Jerardo;

(2) Thereafter, the receivership is HEREBY EXTENDED through September 30,

2011 with respect to San Jerardo only;

(3) If the Receiver claims that Alco is responsible for any unpaid receivership

expenses to date, the Receiver shall submit a request for payment on or before

May 13, 2011.
