4 the Receivership Order] .
5 The Receiver posted his bond and filed his oath on November

13 to pass and thereafter signed and submitted all appropriate
14 documentation to escrow.
15 In early December 2007, Judge Patricia Collins heard and
16 granted the Receiver's ex parte application, issuing an order
1'7 approving escrow documentation by the Receiver,
18 authorizing the Receiver to sign certain tax documentation in
19 connection with the escrow to avoid tax withholding, authorizing
20 the Receiver to enter into an indemnity agreement with Mara
21 Escrow, and restraining Zernik from direct communications with
2
')
.t. the escrow company, the title company, and a lender.
Escrow thereafter closed on December 17, 2007.
During March, the Receiver was served with a federal court

26 Angeles Superior Court Judges, and others alleging various civil
27 rights violations (United States District Court Case No. CV08-

1 restraining the Receiver from disbursing receivership funds in
2 accordance with this orders, which was denied after the
3 Receiver filed opposition to Zernik' s TRO application and filed a
4 motion to dismiss his federal court lawsuit. At the end of
December, the Receiver was still waiting for a ruling from the
6 federal court regarding the Receiver's motion to dismiss that
7 action. During December, the Receiver's office confirmed that
8 motion was still pending with the District Court.
9 During December, the Receiver received the Court's Order
awarding Plaintiff's post-judgment attorneys fees, and paid those
11 fee pursuant to the Court's Order.
12 As previously r€ported, this receivership now can terminate
13 after the federal court litigation ends.
14 A financial report detailing the funds collected and the
expenditures of this receivership estate for the month of
16 December, 2008 is attached as Exhibit 1. As detailed in that
17 financial report, during December the receivership estate earned
18 interest totaling $232.92, disbursed $64,047.86, and on December
19 31, 2008, the Receiver held $399,106.02 in this receivership
estate (which was almost $64,000 less than the receivership held
21. at the end of the preceding month) .
22 As previously reported, the receivership funds are held in a
23 market money account at The Private Bank, which is a bank located
near the Receiver's off ice. The Receiver is a shareholder in
that publicly traded bank, and believes that he holds less than
26 0.1% of its outstanding stock. The Receiver has never served as
