EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Plaintiff,

v.

GEORGE LOREN REED, Individually and as

Trustee of the REED FAMILY TRUST; DUANE

REED, Individually and as Trustee of the REED

FAMILY TRUST; LIDCO INC.; and SHIRLEY

Defendants.

 

Civil No. 1:05-CV-00431-REC-LJO

UNITED STATES’ REQUEST TO

CONTINUE THE STATUS

CONFERENCE CURRENTLY SET

FOR OCTOBER 31, 2005, and

ORDER

The United States of America, through undersigned counsel, hereby requests that the Status

Conference, currently set for October 31, 2005, be continued for at least 30 days. In support thereof, the

United States states as follows:

1. On March 31, 2005, the United States initiated this action, seeking, inter alia, to enforce

the money judgments entered against George Raymond Reed (deceased) and Gladys Reed (deceased)

against certain parcels of real property located in Stanislaus County, California. These money judgments

were previously entered by this Court (United States v. George Raymond Reed, Civ No. F-88-106 EDP).

2. The United States has secured entries of default against George Loren Reed and Duane

Reed, both individually and as trustees of the Reed Family Trust, and against Shirley Lundy. See Docket,

Nos. 23 & 33. The United States has further entered into a stipulation with the remaining defendant,

Lidco, Inc., dismissing it from this action.

3. The Court has set a Status Conference for October 31, 2005 but noted that the conference

would be vacated if the United States files a motion for default judgment. See Docket, No. 32.

4. The United States anticipates that it will be able to file a motion for default judgment

within 20 days. Therefore, to preserve the resources of the Court, the United States requests that the

Status Conference, currently set for October 31, 2005, be continued for at least 30 days. If the United

States is unable to file a motion for default judgment by the continued Status Conference, it will timely

file a status report and appear at the conference.

5. A proposed Order is provided herewith.

WHEREFORE, the United States respectfully requests that the Status Conference, currently set

for October 31, 2005, be continued for at least 30 days. 

Dated this 25th day of October, 2005.
