EX PARTE APPLICATION TO REQUEST DEFENDANTS TO COOPERATE IN THE LISTING AND SALE OF PROPERTY
1 || property situated at situated at 12781 Old Redwood Highway, Healdsburg, Sonoma County,
2 || California, with a designated APN 086-110-021 (hereinafter, “Subject Property”).
3 L BACKGROUND
4 This case involves a request for the Defendants to cooperate in the listing and the sale of the i
5 || Subject Property. This is, or should be a fairly simple and straightforward process, however, the
6 || Partition Referee has been bombarded with requests and correspondence from the three (3) attorneys :
7 || representing the Defendants with various requests that appear designed to off-track the partition sale :
y 8 ||—and the Defendant Paul Foppiano has limited or refused keys and access to the Subject Property. :
d 9 The Partition Referee requests further orders of this Court to facilitate the sale process, (
; 10 || including to pave the way for the property to go “active” on MLS ~ as set forth in the accompanying |
i 11 || proposed order. There is good cause to hear this matter ex parte because the Court appointed the :
F 12 || referee to conduct a timely sale of the subject property. :
bos I. DISCUSSION |
4 14 ‘This case involves a simple partition by sale of the subject property. The Court granted the
i 15 || Plaintiff's motion for summary adjudication to partition by sale on October 31, 2023, and thereafter |
i 16 || appointed Linda Pond as the Partition Referee to conduct said sale.
17 Ms. Pond has experienced difficulty, or a refusal by the Defendants, particularly Paul 2
< 18 || Foppiano who resides in the property and apparently on advice of counsel has refused to provide keys |
19 }/ and access to the subject property. |
20 The Court's help is needed now to keep the sale of the subject property on track, as set forth in |
21 || the accompanying Declaration of Linda Pond, and as requested in the accompanying proposed order, :
22 1) in order to facilitate the sale of the subject property. The Subject Property needs to go "active" on :
23 | the MLS, and the Referee cannot do so unless she has access to the property which is being denied by |
24 || the Defendants, presumably with the advice and assistance of three (3) separate attorneys. :
