trustee (the "Trustee") for Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate, Inc. (the "Debtor") in this chapter

the Motion,
IT IS ORDERED that the automatic bankruptcy stay with respect to Turf’s action against
the Debtor in the case pending before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Louisiana (the “District Court”), entitled, “International Turf Applicators, Inc. v. Phoenix
Associates Land Syndicate, Inc., et al.,” Civil Action No. 07-4528, Section “E“ (the “Turf

against the co-defendants (as set forth below); and
