Paul G. Merklinger, et al
     

On July 31, 2008, the Honorable Gerald E. Rosen of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan issued an order of preliminary injunction and asset freeze against Paul G. Merklinger (Merklinger) of Novi, Michigan, and Encore Associated Leasing, LLC (Encore Leasing), a company formed, owned and controlled by Merklinger, and issued an asset freeze against Merklinger's son, Brian Merklinger, a relief defendant. Previously, on July 24, 2008, Judge Rosen issued an order temporarily prohibiting Merklinger and Encore Leasing from attempting to offer securities or other investments and from transferring any assets. That order was issued under seal by the court and that seal has now been lifted.
