ordered. On January 30, 2001, the Court received an improper
document entitled “Motion for Leave to Ratify Proper Parties”
(the January 30 communication), stating:
Petitioners, by and through their counsel, move
the court pursuant to Rule 60(a) that the Court found
[sic] that the Trustees in the above entitled case[s]
were properly before the court * * *
Marcia Doerr was the proper successor Trustee for
the trusts that is [sic] presently before the court and
the pleading be amended to add Marcia Doerr to be the
proper successor trustee and party before the court.
By order dated February 15, 2001 (the February 15 order), we
answered the January 30 communication. We stated our assumption
that it was a tardy attempt to comply with our two orders of
June 14, 2000. We stated that we found it confusing, since,
rather than identifying as trustees of Caralan Trust, C E Shirley
Trust, and Alexion Trust, Ivan Oviedo, Joseph Shirley, and Curtis
Shirley, respectively, it appears to ask the Court to ratify
Marcia Doerr as trustee of each trust. We extended the time to
comply with the June 14 orders, and cautioned that, unless there
was full and timely compliance, we would assume that, with
respect to Caralan Trust, C E Shirley Trust, and Alexion Trust,
the named individuals (Ivan Oviedo, Joseph Shirley, and Curtis
Shirley) no longer wished to be substituted as parties. We
stated that, unless there was full and timely compliance, we
might dismiss some or all of the trust cases for lack of
jurisdiction.
