UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO. 09-60136-CIV-SEITZ/SIMONTON LEOR EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION LLC, PARDUS PETROLEUM LLC and WILLIAM NATBONY, as Trustee of the DAFNA KAPLAN 2003 EIGHT-YEAR GRANTOR RETAINED ANNUITY TRUST and THOMAS KAPLAN 2004 TEN-YEAR GRANTOR RETAINED ANNUITY TRUST, Plaintiffs, vs. GUMA AGUIAR, Defendant. ___________________________________/ MOTION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS AND REQUEST FOR STATUS CONFERENCE Coffey Burlington hereby moves for a stay of proceedings and requests that a status conference be scheduled given the tragic disappearance of Guma Aguiar. Press reports indicate Guma Aguiar was last seen on June 19, 2012 and has been reported missing to local authorities. According to press reports, the United States Coast Guard and local police authorities have been searching for Mr. Aguiar since his watercraft came ashore in the vicinity of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Given these circumstances, and the possibilities that they present, it is evident that counsel for Mr. Aguiar cannot act without appointment by a guardian or conservator as provided by law.
