As of October 2, 2024, LeFever Mattson, Inc. (“LeFever Mattson”) and affiliated entities have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.  All proceedings have been consolidated for procedural purposes to be administered jointly under the lead case, In re LeFever Mattson, a California corporation, et al., Lead Case No. 24-10545 (Bankr. N.D. Cal.). More information regarding the LeFever Mattson bankruptcy proceedings may be found here or at this website: https://veritaglobal.net/lm.

As of November 22, 2024, involuntary bankruptcy petitions have been filed against Kenneth W. Mattson (“Mattson”) and KS Mattson Partners, LP (“KS Mattson Partners”), for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, in the cases titled In re Kenneth W. Mattson, Case No. 24-10714 (Bankr. N.D. Cal.), and In re KS Mattson Partners, LP, Case No. 24-10715 (Bankr. N.D. Cal.).  As of July 10, 2025, Mattson and KS Mattson Partners have agreed to orders granting the involuntary petitions and to proceeding voluntarily under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, an automatic stay remains in effect as to claims against Mattson and KS Mattson Partners.  This means that claims in the class action against Mattson and KS Mattson Partners are stayed (i.e., paused, but not dismissed) during the pendency of the bankruptcy proceedings against them. As of July 29, 2025 the Bankruptcy Court consolidated the Mattson and KS Mattson Partners bankruptcy proceedings with the LeFever Mattson bankruptcy proceedings.

On December 2, 2024, in light of the pending bankruptcies involving Mattson and KS Mattson Partners, the Court entered an order staying the class action at the request of the remaining parties, Plaintiffs, Defendant Timothy J. LeFever, and Defendant Specialty Property Partners, LP.  Pursuant to their agreement, the parties have filed Joint Status Reports on April 1, 2025 and August 1, 2025.
