On May 27, 2005 the Office of the Attorney General received an Order issued by a visiting Judge Dismissing First Amended Complaint in the Attorney General’s lawsuit against ten leasing companies that acquired equipment rental agreements from NorVergence. On June 3, 2005 the Office of the Attorney General appealed the Order to the First District Court of Appeal.
The Office of the Attorney General will pursue the appeal vigorously.
However, it is not possible to predict exactly when the court will make its decision. Attached, please find a .pdf copy of the Notice of Appeal.
