Upon due consideration of the Receiver’s Stipulated Ex Parte Application to Shorten Time
(the “Application”) and the Declaration of Michaela Crocker filed therewith, the Court finds that
notice of the Application was proper and finds that good cause exists to enter an order setting a
shortened notice, briefing, and hearing schedule for the Motion of Receiver Lance Miller for an
Order Amending the Dates and Deadlines Set forth in the Order (I) Approving Bid Procedures for
the Sale of Real Property; (II) Approving Bid Protections for Stalking Horse Bidder; and (III)
Scheduling the Auction and Sale Hearing (Westlands) (the “Motion to Amend”).1 Having found
the foregoing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1 All capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed in the Application.
