On October 12, 2012, Defendant George Amacechi Ozor (“Ozor”) filed a bankruptcy

17

petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. Actions

18

against Ozor were automatically stayed upon filing of the Notice of Bankruptcy Filing. Ozor is

19

the owner of the other remaining defendant in this action, Zenith Investment Group LLC

20

(“Zenith”). In light of the connection between Ozor and Zenith, the Court finds it appropriate to

21

stay this entire matter pending the bankruptcy proceeding. Therefore, the Court VACATES the

22

case management conference currently scheduled for October 28, 2011.
By virtue of the automatic stay, the Clerk of the Court is directed administratively to

23
24

close the case for statistical purposes. The parties shall notify the Court within ten (10) days of

25

the lifting of the bankruptcy stay, and this matter shall thereafter be reopened. Moreover, the

without prejudice to counsel for Ozor and Zenith refiling this motion after the stay is lifted.
