CGC-14-538489 Plaintiff, MARTIN’S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ORDER APPOINTING vs. RECEIVER TO ENFORCE JUDGMENT SHANON LOFTUS, an individual; [CCP §§ 564, 708.620} CHRISTOPHER FENSTER, an individual; and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, Date: September 26, 2016 Time: 1:30 pm Defendants. Dept.: 514 Judge: The Honorable Judge Quinn This is a Motion for Order Appointing Receiver to Enforce Judgment. Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN and Defendant SHANON LOFTUS entered into a Stipulated Judgment pursuant to a partition action. The terms of the Stipulated Judgment are that Defendant SHANON LOFTUS is to refinance the property and pay Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN $300,000.00 and remove his name from the mortgage. Thereafter, Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN will quitclaim the property at issue to Defendant SHANON LOFTUS. The terms of the Stipulated Judgment also provide that Defendant SHANON LOFTUS shall be responsible for the mortgage and all debts incurred to Christopher Fenster commencing October 8, 2015. The Motion for Oder Appointing Receiver to Enforce Judgment was originally set for April 25, 2016.

CGC-14-538489}) 778-0800 | Fax (415) 778-0700 wow.hedanichoy.com Cem YD HW FF WBN = 6 12 date numerous times until the most recent date of September 26, 2016 under the assumption that Defendant SHANON LOFTUS was close to refinancing the property and paying Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN the $300,000.00 that became due on February 12, 2016 (with interest accruing at 10% on the judgment). It is Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN’s understanding that Defendant SHANON LOFTUS is still close to obtaining financing, with the mortgage broker appraising the house on September 19, 2016. However, Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN is also concerned that the parties will always be close but not quite there without the proper motivation. Therefore, the Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN respectfully requests that this Court appoint a receiver to sell Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN and Defendant SHANON LOFTUS’ interest in the subject property. To the extent the refinancing is successful prior to retaining the Receiver, there is no harm no foul. However, given that the refinancing was to occur before February 12, 2016, Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN is compelled to move ahead. Moreover, Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN is also aware of an issue between Defendant SHANON LOFTUS and third party Christopher Fenster in that Christopher Fenster wants his debts from Defendant SHANON LOFTUS paid through escrow in order to sign off on the refinancing, however, it is unclear whether Defendant SHANON LOFTUS is willing to provide for his debt through the refinancing. To the extent Defendant SHANON LOFTUS refuses to pay for her portion of the Fenster debt, Mr. Fenster will not agree to the refinance. Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN requests that the Court appoint a receiver. Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN is fine with any receiver of the Court’s choosing, but recommended Justice Harry Low. Recently, Plaintiff SEAN MARTIN has also be in contact with Mr. Kevin Singer of Receivership Specialists who charges $250.00 an hour, and his CV is attached.
