The Court held a status conference on April 25, 2017 (the “Conference”). The

23
24

Conference was held at the same time and place as a status conference for In re Cavanagh,

25

United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of California, Case No. 13-92200.1

26

Additionally, pending before the Court are two stipulations and requests for proposed orders.

(ECF Nos. 43, 45.) Except to the extent ordered below, these requests are DENIED.
Having carefully considered the arguments raised during the Conference,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. Gary R. Farrar, as Chapter 7 Trustee of the bankruptcy estate in In re Cavanagh,

5

United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of California, Case No. 13-92200, is substituted

6

as Plaintiff in this action in the place of William G. Cavanaugh. The Clerk of the Court shall

revise the caption of the instant action accordingly.

2. American National Property and Casualty Company may file an amended pleading
within 20 days of the date this Order is filed.

3. On March 30, 2017, the parties sought to extend “the Non Expert Cut-Off as applicable

11

solely to the depositions of William Cavanaugh and Patricia Cavanaugh” to April 30, 2017. (ECF

12

No. 43 at 2.) It seems this date is no longer mutually agreeable to the parties. They shall submit

13

a stipulation proposing a revised date within seven days of the date this Order is filed.

4. The Court grants the parties request that Mr. Mannion be permitted to redepose Bill
