ORDER ADMINISTRATIVELY
CLOSING CASE

Defendants.

On February 28, 2012, plaintiff Jacques Bitton (“Plaintiff”) filed notice of the

16

bankruptcy petitions filed by defendants Phillip C. Gee, Jr. and United Meat Company, Inc

17

(“UMC”). Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), the filing of the petition operates as a stay as to all

18

actions against Phillip C. Gee, Jr. and United Meat Company. Plaintiff’s claims against the

19

remaining defendants, Douglas Gee, William Gee, and Leonard Gee, hinge upon Plaintiff’s

20

allegation that they may be liable as his employer as the alter ego of UMC. Plaintiff does not

21

dispute that the automatic stay applies to all defendants. Instead, Plaintiff informed the Court

22

that he intends to seek leave from the bankruptcy court to lift the stay. Accordingly, this entire

23

action is STAYED.

1

By virtue of the automatic stay, the Clerk of the Court is directed administratively to

2

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

3

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

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
