Notes:
Three misdemeanor counts against Franks are likely headed to trial and three small claims suits have been filed against Franks in regards to dogs sold at the store. And felony charges are likely on the way, according to an El Dorado County prosecutor.


On Oct. 2, 2009, Judge Richard Specchio ordered Franks to pay a Walnut Creek couple $533.44 for medical expenses related to a Pom poodle the couple bought from Broc's Puppies in March 2009.



On Dec. 11, 2009, Specchio ordered Franks to pay $1,081 to Laura Hanson for selling her a puppy she believed to be a purebred Yorkshire terrier.



On Dec. 18, 2009, South Shore residents Michael and Jessica Barnhart filed a small claims suit against Franks because of two dogs they purchased in June 2009. One dog died after 12 hours and the other was sick for three months, according to the suit. The couple is asking for $7,500 for the price of the puppies and pain and suffering endured by the family because of the purchases. The hearing in that case has been set for March 25, 2010.
