1 Pursuant to the January 17, 2007, order of the Hon. James A. Teilborg,
2 plaintiff Connor Sport Court International, Inc. and defendants Rhino Sports, Inc.
3 ("Rhino") and J olm E. Shaffer ("Shaffer") (hereinafter collectively "Rhino/Shaffer"),
4 by and through undersigned counsel, hereby request that this case be transferred to
5 Judge Teilborg.
6 MEMORANDUM
7 In late 2002, Rhino Sports, Inc. and its principal, John Shaffer, filed suit
8 against Sport Court, Inc., in Rhino Sports, Inc. v. Sport Court, Inc., CV—02—l8l5-
9 JAT. The case concerned Sport Court, Inc’s trademarks. It was assigned to the Hon.
10 James A. Teilborg and it ended by settlement and the entry of a stipulated permanent
ll injunction by Judge Teilborg on or about March 23, 2004. Judge Teilborg
12 specifically retained jurisdiction of the case to enforce the injunction.
13 On December 21, 2006, Connor Sport Court Intemational ("Sport Court"), the
14 successor in interest to Sport Court, Inc., tiled the instant matter, CV-06-03066-PHX-
15 SRB, seeking damages, an injunction, and other relief concerning Rhino/Shaffer’s
16 alleged violations of the permanent injunction since it was filed in 2004.
17 On January 18, 2007, Sport Court also filed a motion in CV—02—l8l5 for an
18 order to show cause why Rhino! Shaffer should not be held in contempt for alleged
19 violations of the permanent injtmction. Sport Court filed that motion with Judge
20 Teilborg because he had retained jruisdiction over the permanent injunction.
2l The complaint in this case and the motion for an order to show cause in CV-
22 02-1815 concem substantially the same parties, facts, and questions of law.
23 Furthermore, there would be substantial duplication of effort if these cases were
24 heard by different judges.
25 In his January 17, 2007, nrinute entry Judge Teilborg ordered the parties to tile
26 a motion to transfer in the "in the case they wish to have considered for transfer."

1 Because Judge Teilborg is already familiar with the facts of this case and retained
2 jurisdiction to enforce the permanent injunction, judicial economy would favor
3 i transfer of this case to Judge Teilborg.
4 Consequently, the parties request that CV-06-03066 be transferred to Judge
5 Teilborg so that it may be heard by him in conjunction with CV-02-1815.
