UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

HONG KONG ORIENTAL IMPORT AND 

EXPORT CO. LTD., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CAL PACIFIC LIMITED INC., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-00273-JSC 

ORDER RE: MOTION FOR LEAVE TO 

FILE A CREDITOR’S SUIT 

Re: Dkt. No. 32 

In this civil action, Plaintiff obtained a clerk’s default judgment against Defendant Cal 

Pacific Limited and a writ of execution was issued in the amount of $3,519,918. (Dkt. Nos. 17 & 

21.) The judgment debtor subsequently failed to appear at two judgment debtor exams. (Dkt. 

Nos. 25 & 29.) Plaintiff has now filed a Motion for Leave to File a Creditor’s Suit wherein 

Plaintiff seeks leave to file a new complaint to collect funds that the judgment debtor allegedly 

fraudulently transferred to third parties. (Dkt. No. 32) Although Plaintiff states that the motion is 

filed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69(a), California Code of Civil Procedure § 

708.210, and California’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, California Civil Code § 3439, et seq., 

the Court is not aware of a state or federal requirement that Plaintiff seek leave of the Court prior 

to filing a new civil action against a third party. 

Accordingly, the Court sets a status conference for February 11, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. 

Plaintiff may contact Court Call at 1-888-882-6878 to make arrangements to appear by telephone. 

If Plaintiff prefers, Plaintiff may file a written submission that addresses the Court’s question prior 

to the status conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: February 2, 2016
