ORDER

17

On October 16, 2012, the Court conducted a hearing regarding setting potential trial and pretrial

18

dates. After discussion with the parties, the Court determined setting any trial dates is premature. The

19

Court was informed that settlement negotiations with the remaining parties are ongoing and have

20

resulted in settlement with many defendants. Other defendants remain in the case primarily because

21

insurance information is needed for the parties to determine their settlement posture.

22

In light of the parties’ progress in this matter, the Court sets a STATUS CONFERENCE for

23

December 12, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., in Courtroom 8 before Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe. Before the status

24

conference, the remaining defendants should make a good faith attempt to identify past insurance

25

policies, insurance companies and/or past insurance agents who may be able to identify or locate

26

policies. At the status conference, the remaining defendants should be prepared to discuss what efforts

27

have been undertaken regarding locating the insurance, whether any relevant insurance policies exist,

28

and when the remaining defendants will file an answer. The parties should also be prepared to agree on
1

1

a scheduling conference date. At least seven days before the status conference, Plaintiffs should submit

2

a brief written statement regarding the status of each defendant. All counsel and parties may appear at

3

the conference by arranging a one-line conference call and telephoning the Court at 559-499-5789.
