VS Defendant Austa Wakily
KNAPP PETERSEN AND CLARKE Counsel
NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:
NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO AMEND JUDGMENT TO ADD
JUDGMENT DEBTORS;
The cause is called for hearing.
Per Mr. Esquibias, he has numerous objections not
raised in the opposition based on the Probate Code
and lack of notice. He offers no explanation for
not raising them in the opposition.
The Court notes that Mr. Praske, represented by the
same counsel who represented Mr. Gaggero, has appar-
ently refused to produce the trust documents on the
grounds that they are confidential. That refusal has
resulted in ther now being no evidentiary for any of
the factual assertions concerning the trust which
counsel has made today. In partucular, to the extent
counsel suggests there are beneficiaries and conting-
ent beneficiaries who are entitled to notice, the
actions of Mr. Praske, while reprel:lented byMr. Gagg--=_
ero's counsel, have made this impossible. The offer
to provide further information is of limited scope.
The motion of KPC sets forth a convincing basis that
the entities are the alter ego of Mr. Gaggero, who
controlled this litigation.
The order is signed by the
Reporter

1 TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
2 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on June 19,2012 in Department IA of the above-entitled
3 court Judgment Debtor Stephen Gaggero's Motion for Protective Order relating to his judgment
4 debtor examination came on for hearing. Appearing for Judgment Debtor was David Chatfield of
5 Westlake Law Group and appearing for Judgment Creditors Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, Steven
6 Ray Garcia, Stephen M. Harris, and Andre Jardini (collectively referred to as KPC) was Austa
7 Wakily of Miller LLP. There was no appearance for the remaining Judgment Debtors.
8 The Court, having read and considered the moving papers and having heard oral arguments
9 ruled as follows:

1. Judgment Debtor's notice of stay filed with the Court fails to provide a valid ground
required by the Los Angeles County Superior Court Local Rule 3.650(b), and is therefore
ineffective;
2. The appeal of the Order Amending the Judgment does not stay the present enforcement
proceeding;
3. Judgment Debtor failed to present a sufficient basis to seal the debtor examination
transcript of Mr. Gaggero, therefore, that request is denied;
4. Judgment Debtor failed to present a sufficient basis to exclude third parties from a public
proceeding, therefore, the request to exclude third parties from Mr. Gaggero's debtor
examination is denied;
5. Judgment Debtor's request to prohibit disclosure of his financial information to third
parties is over broad. Additionally, Judgment Debtor fails to present a sufficient basis in
support of this request, therefore, the request to prohibit the disclosure of Mr. Gaggero's
financial information to third parties who are not directly involved with the collection of
the judgment is denied;
6. Judgment Debtor's reliance on the right to privacy in support of the Motion for Protective
Order fails to address the limited rights of a judgment debtor at a judgment debtor
examination. The Judgment Debtor's motion is denied in its entirety;

Appellant appeals from an order entered on October 5, 2011 by the Los Angeles
Superior Court granting defendants/respondents’ motion to compel responses to
interrogatories and imposing monetary sanctions of $2000 jointly and severally on
appellant and his counsel. Discovery orders and orders directing payment of monetary
sanctions less than $5, 000 are not appealable within the meaning of Code of Civil
Procedure, §904.1(a)(1)(11) and (12). Therefore, on the court’s own motion, the notice
of appeal filed October 21, 2011 is dismissed as having been taken from a non-appealable
order.
