Order (1) Setting Deadline to Move to Intervene and (2) Ordering Briefs Regarding Bankruptcy Proceeding

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

On January 15, 2020, the court received a letter from the Sarachek Law Firm indicating that its clients, Peter M. Hofmann, Hofmann Properties LLC, and Steven E. Tandlich, were initiating an involuntary bankruptcy petition against defendant Welscorp, Inc. ECF No. 63. The letter expressed an objection to any funds being released from the asset freeze currently in place in this case. Id. The Wellington Defendants, including Welscorp. Inc., move to strike the letter because the attorney who signed the letter is not licensed to practice in Nevada and did not file a verified petition to appear in this case. ECF No. 64. They also argue the individuals identified in the letter have not moved to intervene and thus have no basis to file documents in this case. It is unclear whether the Wellington Defendants delivered their motion to the Sarachek Law Firm.

I THEREFORE ORDER that if Peter M. Hofmann, Hofmann Properties LLC, or Steven E. Tandlich do not move to intervene in this action by March 3, 2020, I will grant the motion to strike.

I FURTHER ORDER that by March 6, 2020, the parties to this action shall advise the court what, if any, effect the bankruptcy proceeding In re Welscorp, Inc. (19-18056-abl) has on this case, including the pending motions.

I FURTHER ORDER the clerk of court to send a copy of this order to Joseph Sarachek at the following address:
