 Defendants.

Case Number C 07-5740 JF (RS)

ORDER REQUESTING DEBTOR’S 1

EXAMINATION

On September 29, 2009, the Court granted Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 

On October 22, 2009, the Clerk of the Court taxed costs in the amount of $1,029.90. On April

13, 2010, the Court overruled Plaintiff’s objections to the bill of costs. 

On April 19, 2010, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se as she has since summary judgment was

granted, sent the Court a copy of her 2009 federal income tax return to support her argument that

she is unable to pay the $1,029.90 in costs incurred in this matter. In an order dated April 26,

2010, the Court indicated that in light of Plaintiffs’ pro se status, the Court would treat Plaintiff’s

April 19 communication as a motion for reconsideration and requested response from

Defendants. Defendants contend that they have not had an opportunity to review Plaintiff’s

income tax return and that public records indicate that Plaintiff is the owner of real property in

the County of Santa Clara valued at approximately $250,000, and they request a debtor’s

examination of Plaintiff under oath. 

 Finding that the facts in the record are insufficient to allow it to decide the issue of

Plaintiff’s ability to pay her costs, the Court will order Plaintiff to undergo a debtor’s

examination. The Court will defer its decision on Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration pending

the outcome of the examination. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
