June 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 67 ORDER by Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald: The Court has reviewed the Motion for Bond #63 filed by Defendants and notes that it suggests that this action is automatically stayed. (Docket No. 63 at 7). Because Plaintiff brings securities claims under federal law, the Court has federal-question subject-matter jurisdiction over this action. The California Corporations Code does not (and cannot) operate to prevent this Court from exercising its jurisdiction over the federal claims. Therefore, this action necessarily is not stayed in its entirety. Moreover, the California Supreme Court has made clear that "when a complaint alleges a personal cause of action and a derivative cause of action in the same complaint, a court cannot impose a section 800 bond as a condition of prosecuting the personal cause of action." Max v. 8E6 Corp., No. B307406, 2022 WL 909907, at *9 (Cal. Ct. App. Mar. 29, 2022), as modified on denial of reh'g (Apr. 27, 2022) (citing Hagan v. Superior Ct. of Los Angeles Cnty., 53 Cal. 2d 498, 503, 2 Cal. Rptr. 288 (1960)). Therefore, the Court disagrees that no further proceedings may be held on the OSC re: Preliminary Injunction given at least some of the claims forming the basis of the PI Application appear to be brought directly by Plaintiff as Trustee of Lorraine J. Vander Ark Trust (e.g., the breach of contract claim). The briefing schedule and OSC Hearing set by the Court's Order dated June 14, 2023, remain set. Failure to adhere to the deadlines set by this Court will be construed as a failure to timely oppose the PI Application. The parties may address the automatic stay issue in their subsequent filings and at the OSC Hearing. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (smom) TEXT ONLY ENTRY

June 14, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 54 ORDER by Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald: The Court has reviewed Defendant HAF Corporation's Application for Extension of Time to File Response to Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause re: Preliminary Injunction #51 ("Extension Application"). The Extension Application is DENIED to the extent it seeks to extend the time to file an Opposition to the TRO Application, which remains due on 6/15/2023 at 5:00 p.m. (PT). However, the Extension Application is GRANTED to the extent it seeks to extend the time to file a Response to the OSC re: Preliminary Injunction, which shall be filed by Defendant by no later than Tuesday, 6/20/2023, at 9:00 a.m. Plaintiff may file a Reply (only to the OSC Response), by no later than Thursday, 6/22/2023, at 12:00 p.m. In the Opposition to the TRO, Defendant should specifically focus on the following two points: (1) any harm(s) that might result if the TRO is granted to preserve the status quo until the OSC Hearing and (2) why, based on the case law and facts presented by Plaintiff, Plaintiff's claimed threat of harm (i.e., the siphoning of funds) is insufficient to support the issuance of a TRO. Defendant may (and will be expected to) develop the facts and arguments on the merits of Plaintiff's claims in its OSC Response but need not do so in the Opposition to the TRO Application. The OSC Hearing remains set for 6/26/2023 at 9:00 a.m. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (smom) TEXT ONLY ENTRY
