Plaintiffs,

v.

D&L ELITE INVESTMENTS, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-04516-SC (JST)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: ECF No. 200, 205

This order concerns an Ex Parte Application filed by Plaintiffs requesting that the Court 

release an Asset Restraining Order on bank accounts connected to Defendants in order for them to 

collect the judgment obtained in this case. ECF No. 200. Pursuant to this Court’s November 16, 

2015 order, ECF No. 202, Interested Party Yanjuan Luo filed objections on grounds that she was 

the ex-spouse of Defendant Billy Deng and no longer had any connection with him. ECF No. 203. 

She requested that the funds in her account remain unaffected. On December 8, 2015, this Court

ordered Plaintiffs to file a response. ECF No. 204.

In their response, Plaintiffs state that they did not realize Ms. Luo was no longer married to 

Mr. Deng and do not know whether the funds in Ms. Luo’s account are connected to him. ECF 

No. 205 at 3. Regardless, they suggest that the Court grant their Ex Parte Application releasing 

Defendants’ bank accounts, upon which they will release the funds in Ms. Luo’s account to her 

and then collect only from the other accounts. Id. Plaintiffs do not explain why they wish to 

withdraw the money rather than simply leave it in Ms. Luo’s account for her to manage as she 

chooses, or why they should have the right to do so.

Accordingly, all interested parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court 

should not grant the Ex Parte Application, with the modification that Plaintiffs will not attempt to 

collect any money from Ms. Luo’s account in relation to their judgment in this case. Responses, if
