UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
In re
THE LEGACY ESTATE GROUP, LLC, No. 05-14659
Debtor(s).
______________________________________/
Order Striking Pleading
_________________
The court spends considerable effort avoiding newspaper articles about cases before it, so that it
can be sure that it bases its decisions on facts demonstrated in court and not merely reported in the press.
In a case such as this the court’s task is not an easy one. The court was therefore appalled to see that
creditor Pacific Paragon Investment Fund Ltd had, on September 26, 2006, filed a motion which
contained copies of newspaper articles. The court cannot rule on the objections to the motions without
reviewing the motion, and cannot review the motion without risk of learning facts improperly.
According, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. Said motion is stricken. The Clerk shall remove it from the docket.
2. The parties shall meet and confer and attempt to resolve any discovery disputes themselves.
The meet and confer shall be through counsel in person, and not by telephone.
3. After meeting and conferring, if any issues remain unresolved, Paragon may renew its motion,
without any reference whatsoever to press coverage, on seven days’ notice.
Dated: September 29, 2006
