26CV164744: PALTSEVA vs SCHAFER, et al. 08/13/2026 Hearing on Motion - Other TO STAY DISSOLUTION OF DEFENDNANT LOCKBOX ESCAPES LLC AND APPOINTMENT OF A RECIVVER, AND ORDER BUYOUT PURSUANT TO CORP. CODE § 17707.03(C); filed by Monica Schafer (Defendant) CRS# 142652803645 in Department 520
Tentative Ruling - 08/11/2026 Jamilah A. Jefferson
The Motion of Defendant Monica Schafer (Defendant) to Stay was GRANTED IN PART.
The Court considered the parties' written submissions and arguments at a prior hearing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the parties have filed various ex-parte applications, including for temporary restraining orders, since the initial hearing on this Motion for Stay, there is no specific indication that the appraisers have completed the appraisals and submitted reports for consideration.
Given that the appraisers were appointed approximately in an order entered on May 11, 2026, it would seem that the appraisal is completed. However, the Court is also aware that Defendant has filed an ex-parte application to advance a motion for:
NOTICE OF MOTION FOR ORDER (1) ALLOCATING AN OFFSET AGAINST VALUE OF PLAINTIFFS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST; (2) DIRECTING THAT DEFENDANT HAS 90 DAYS FROM THE ORDER FIXING THE VALUE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE ALLOCATION TO MAKE THE PAYMENT TO PLAINTIFF; (3) DIRECTING COOPERATION WITH NEW TAX PREPARER RETAINED BY DEFENDANT; AND (4) FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF TO PREVENT CORPORATE WASTE.
The need for the motion may be the obstacle to the appraisal being competed. It is unclear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Court will continue this hearing to be heard with Defendant's motion.
In advance of the continued hearing, the parties shall submit a JOINT status report apprising the Court of anticipated next steps or whether additional time is necessary.
