Neale Bender, Rankin & Brill, LLP appeared on behalf of defendants SIDNEY B. 

DUNMORE, an individual, and SIDNEY B. DUNMORE, as Trustee for the Sid Dunmore 

Trust Dated February 28, 2003 (collectively, “Sidney B. Dunmore”). 

After considering all papers and oral argument in support and in opposition to the 

Application, the Court made the following determinations: 

· The claim upon which the attachment is based is one upon which an attachment 

may be issued; 

· Travelers established the probable validity of the claim upon which the 

attachment is based; 

· The attachment is not sought for a purpose other than recovery on the claim 

upon which the attachment is based; and 

· The amount to be secured by the attachment is greater than zero. 

Additionally, the Court overruled all of Sidney B. Dunmore’s objections to Travelers’ 

evidence. 

On that basis, and good cause appearing therefore, the Court orders as follows: 

1. The Court issues a writ of attachment against the following real property 

interests of Sidney B. Dunmore: 

Defendant Name APN Number Real Property Address 

Sidney B. Dunmore 050-040-038

9220 Royal Crest Court, 

Granite Bay, California 95746

2. The amount secured by the writ of attachments is Seven Million Eight Hundred 

Thousand Dollars ($7,800,000.00). 

3. Travelers shall deposit $10,000 undertaking with the Clerk of the Court to 

secure the writ of attachment pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 489.210. 

4. In order to allow Travelers to seek an appraisal of the above-referenced Granite 

Bay property to determine if its net value (i.e., the fair market value of the property, less all 

liens, mortgages and other encumbrances) is greater than or equal to the amount to be secured, 

$7,800,000.00, the Court hereby issues a temporary protective order, prohibiting Sidney B.
