FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Corporation, ALLIANT TAX CREDIT FUND V

No. C 04-03201 SI

ORDER LIFTING STAY AND

SCHEDULING FURTHER MOTIONS

On June 28, 2005, this Court granted defendants’ request for a stay of this action (“Canal II”),

pending resolution of the appeal in the related action, Canal Properties, LLC v. Alliant Tax Credit V,

Inc., et al., No. C 02-1871 SI (“Canal I”). In the same order, this Court denied defendants’ motion for

judgment on the pleadings in Canal II, without prejudice to renewal after decision on the appeal of

Canal I.

The judgment in Canal I has now been affirmed by the Court of Appeals and the mandate has

been filed in this court. It is therefore time to consider and decide the issues raised by defendants in

their earlier motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Accordingly, the parties are directed to take the following steps: If defendants continue to

request judgment on the pleadings in Canal II, they must file and serve a motion to that effect on or

before March 30, 2007. Plaintiff’s opposition must be filed by April 13, 2007, defendants’ reply

if any must be filed by April 20, 2007, and hearing on the matter shall be scheduled for Friday,

May 4, 2007 at 9:00 a.m.

The Court notes that on March 13, 2006, the Court granted the motion filed by plaintiff’s counsel

Meis & Alexander (“Meis”) for an order permitting their withdrawal as counsel. The order allowing

withdrawal was effective on April 12, 2006, or when new counsel substituted in for Canal, whichever

date was earlier. The order advised Mr. Andrew Wiecks, managing partner of Canal, that Canal cannot

appear in this Court without counsel and that, if Canal did not retain new counsel, Canal would be

unable to oppose any motions. 

The docket does not reflect the appearance of new counsel for Canal. Unless and until such an

appearance is made, Canal is unable to appear in this Court. A copy of this Order will be provided,

through e-filing, to Canal’s prior counsel, Meis & Alexander, and will also be mailed to Mr. Wiecks at

the last address reflected in the file. Mr. Wiecks is again advised that Canal cannot appear in this

court without counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
