Case No. 1:08-CV-00606-AWI-SMS APPLICATION FOR NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER EXONERATING BOND; DECLARATION OF COUNSEL; AND ORDER THEREON

Judge: Anthony W. Ishii

Plaintiff DON ROSE, through counsel DOOLEY, HERR, PELTZER & RICHARDSON, LLP, hereby moves the court for an order Nunc Pro Tunc Exonerating Bond in the above-captioned case. On May 20, 2008, Plaintiff made his Second Application for Writ of Attachment in the above captioned matter (Dkt. #13), securing the funds in Bank of the Sierra Account number 2220359270 (hereinafter, "the Account"). The Order covered the first $1,500,000 in that account. The Court conditionally granted the Application on May 21. 2008, (Dkt. #15) simultaneously Ordering that Plaintiff post bond in an amount of $10,000, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure

section 484.010, et seq. (hereinafter, all statutory references are to the California Code of Civil procedure, unless otherwise indicated). The Notice of Undertaking was filed with the Court on May 23, 2008 along with the original bond in the amount of $10,000. (Dkt. #17) On March 11, 2009, this Court entered Partial Summary Judgment in this matter, Ordering the release of what was believed by Plaintiff to be about $800,000 in the Account. (Dkt. #56) The actual amount of monies in the Account were substantially less; about $408,000. The result is the same; the Account has no money in it. Plaintiff is informed and believes that the Account was closed by Bank of the Sierra soon after the funds were released. Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter an Order releasing Plaintiff nunc pro tunc from the obligation to post the $10,000 bond.
