BRENNDA FITTING
6611 N 46TH DR
GLENDALE AZ 85301

JUDGE ACETO

MINUTE ENTRY

Counsel has advised the Court of a conflict with the oral argument concerning Plaintiff’s
Motion to Strike Defendant’s answer scheduled for today at 2:00 p.m. Because the Court does
not believe oral argument would be helpful, IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s request to
continue the oral argument.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying the Motion to Strike. Rule 11(a) allows a
pleading not signed by a party to be stricken if not signed promptly after the omission is pointed
out. See Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure 11(a). Here, Plaintiff filed an application for entry of
default on June 23, 2005. Defendant, Brennda Fitting’s husband, signed and filed an “Answer to
Application for Default” on July 1, 2005. In that document, she responded to the allegations and
“Counts” of the complaint.

Plaintiff filed the pending Motion to Strike on July 18, 2005, and Defendant Brennda
Fitting filed a response thereto on August 2, 2005. She signed that brief and indicated the July 1,
2005 pleading was filed on her behalf. This is sufficient to satisfy Rule 11(a).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED referring this case back to The Honorable Mark Aceto for
all further proceedings in this matter.

GLENDALE AZ 85301

MARK E LINES

MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT

On October 6, 2005, Plaintiff filed a “Motion for Partial Summary Judgment Regarding
Liability for Breach of Contract and Foreclosure”. The Court has reviewed the pleadings.
Pursuant to Rule 7.1, the Court declines to schedule oral argument.

Plaintiff’s breach of contract and foreclosure claims pivot off of Plaintiff’s allegation that
Defendant Brennda Fitting is liable to Plaintiff for unpaid assessments. Defendant admits that
this allegation is true. As to the unpaid assessment allegation, there is no genuine issue of
material fact and Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED granting partial summary judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against
Defendant Brennda Fitting regarding Plaintiff’s claim that Defendant is liable to Plaintiff for
some unpaid assessments.

TELEPHONIC SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

The Court wishes to discuss with the parties the topic of referral to some form of
alternative dispute resolution. Therefore, it is ordered setting a telephonic scheduling conference
on January 6, 2006 at 2:30 p.m.

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2005-092038

11/09/2005

Docket Code 041
Form V000A
Page 2

NOTE: This division will place the conference call at the time of the hearing.

Further,

IT IS ORDERED that both Plaintiff’s counsel and Defendant Brennda Fitting participate
in the telephonic scheduling conference. Further,

IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Brennda Fitting contact this division no later than 48
hours before the telephonic scheduling conference to advise this division of the phone number to
use to contact her at the time of the telephonic scheduling conference. (If Defendant does not
have access to a phone, Defendant must appear in person, in Court for the telephonic scheduling
conference.)

The Court warns that failure to participate in the telephonic scheduling conference could
result in sanctions. For example, if Defendant fails to participate in the conference, the Court
could strike Defendant’s answer, enter default against Defendant, and order that said default be
effective as of the date of entry.
