Respondent.

----oo0oo----

Before the court is petitioner’s motion to compel

arbitration and respondent’s motion for summary judgment. On

February 23, 2006, respondent filed twenty-seven objections to

statements in the declarations of Pablo Barrera, Humberto

Palacio, and Edward Speckman (submitted in support of

petitioner’s motion) and moved to strike the portions of these

declarations to which it objected. Respondent’s objections are

rule on petitioner’s motion to compel arbitration and

respondent’s motion for summary judgment, the court must first

decide these objections. Accordingly, at the hearing currently

set for March 24, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., the court will hear only

the evidentiary objections. The hearing on the motions to compel

arbitration and for summary judgment will be rescheduled for a

later date after the evidentiary objections have been resolved.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
