MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: United States of America v. Gerald I. Katz
Civil No. JFM-11-2107
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the papers submitted in connection with the United States’ motion to
vacate property. The motion (document 72) is granted. I regret having to grant the motion.
However, given the history of litigiousness in this case and the fact that Mr. Katz apparently has
not cooperated with the Receiver by providing access to the property, I am left with no
alternative. However, I urge you to confer with one another and if Mr. Katz can be persuaded to
cooperate with the Receiver, I would prefer that the Katzs be permitted to remain in the home
until the sale has been effected.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.

Very truly yours,
/s/
J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
