2) Defendant Canyon Springs Enterprises doing business as RSH Construction Services ("Canyon Springs") is a Corporation. 3) The amount sought to be secured by the attachment under Plaintiff's Motion is $70,371.17. 4) The claim upon which Plaintiffs' Motion is based is one upon which an attachment may be issued pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 483.010. 5) Plaintiffs have established the probable validity of the claim upon which Plaintiff's Motion is based. 6) This Order is not sought for a purpose other than the recovery upon the claim on which Plaintiff's Motion is based. 7) Great or irreparable injury will result to Plaintiffs if this Order is not issued, because there is a danger that the property sought to be attached would be concealed, substantially impaired in value, or made unavailable to levy by other than concealment or substantial impairment in value. Specifically, there is a danger that Canyon Springs will deplete all of its funds to pay its current expenses. 8) The requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure § 485.220 are satisfied, but a temporary protective order should issue instead of an ex parte right to attach order and order for issuance of writ of attachment. 9) The property subject to the following order is $70,371.17 of all corporate property of Canyon Springs for which a method of levy is provided by California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 488.300-488.485, including, but not limited to any and all accounts receivable and general intangibles payable to Canyon Springs by CB&I Constructors, Inc. ("Protected Property"). 10) Canyon Springs shall not transfer, directly or indirectly, any interest in the Protected Property. 11) The instant Order shall expire at the earliest of the following times: a) when a levy of attachment upon the Protected Property is made by Plaintiffs, b) 40 days after the issuance of this Order, or c) upon order of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Plaintiffs and/or Plaintiffs' counsel of record and Canyon Springs and/or Canyon Springs' counsel of record shall appear in Courtroom 3 of the United 2
