A flurry of motions
Defendants John Thomson, Steve Cabezud and Barbara Nagel recently obtained new counsel, Boise attorney Thomas Banducci.
The Department filed a Motion to Strike Answers of Thomson, Cabezud and Nagel, and asked the court to enter default, based on the defendants' failure to comply with the court's order compelling discovery and its order to show cause. Banducci has filed an opposition to this motion.
Banducci has also filed a motion to set aside the court's order deeming the Department's Requests for Admission as admitted, and has attempted to respond to the court's order to show cause. The Department has filed briefing opposing these two efforts, and has filed a motion to strike from the record parts of what defendants filed.
The hearing on the various motions is set for Monday, August 2, 2010, at 11:00 AM, in the Ada County courthouse.
The Department is still waiting for the judge to sign the stipulated order on Catledge's Motion for Protective Order, and we are also waiting for the judge to sign the documents to take a default judgment against Derek Elliott.
Update: Just received the judgment and permanent injunction against Elliott, and the order for the Protective Order. The Department was awarded a judgment amount against Derek Elliott and Sun Village Juan Dolio Associates in the amount of $2,653,880.65.

Motion for protective order
During the May 24th hearing on the State's Motion to Compel and Catledge's Motion for Stay, counsel for Catledge verbally converted their Motion to Stay to a Motion for Protective Order. The judge directed counsel to prepare a draft protective order.
Catledge's counsel and I have been negotiating the terms of the order. I expect we will reach some agreement and will submit that to the judge for his review and approval.
The judge did not rule on the State's Motion to Compel, as that was essentially subsumed by the Motion for Protective Order. Counsel are also negotiating terms of future discovery.

Motion to compel, motion for stay
The Department has filed a motion to compel Mr. Catledge to respond to discovery filed by the Department in August, 2009. This motion is set for hearing on Monday, May 24, 2010, at 1:30 PM in Judge Wilper's courtroom.
Catledge and the Impact Defendants have filed an opposition to the State's motion, and have also filed a motion requesting a temporary stay of the State's case. The gist of Catledge's motion for a stay is that he is under investigation by the FBI and the US Attorney's Office in the Northern District of California, and he believes the State's action should be stayed until the criminal action (if any comes out of the investigation) is resolved.
This issue will also be heard on May 24th.
