On or around December 18, 2025, Petitioner, G&P Enterprises, LLC dba Allied Trustee Services posted an Undertaking in the amount of ten thousand ($10,000) in connection with a third-party claim of ownership filed by Free Will Foundation, Inc. pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 720.260.

On February 13, 2026, the Court granted Petitioner’s Petition for Determination of Third- Party Claim of Ownership and denied the third-party claim.

On March 27, 2026, the Court issued an Order Granting Judgment Assignee’s Petition, Denying Third-Party Claim of Ownership and Confirming Levy wherein the Court ordered the “undertaking posted by Petitioner Allied in connection with this proceeding is exonerated and no claim may be made against the surety based on the Third-Party Claim.”

On May 20, 2026, Petitioner filed a Notice of Motion to Exonerate Undertaking; Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support Thereof. Allied asserts that no undertaking is required as the Court has determined the third-party claim of ownership in favor of Petitioner and against the third-party claimant. Allied requests the Court issue an order exonerating the undertaking posted by Allied pursuant to CCP § 720.260 and directing the bond be released and the surety relieved of all obligations. Allied’s motion is unopposed.
