Plaintiffs,
v.
CAREWISE HEALTH, INC., f/k/a SHPS
HEALTH MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS,
INC.,

ORDER AFTER FURTHER
CASE MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE

Defendant.
/
For the reasons stated on the record at the further case management conference

19

yesterday, plaintiffs’ request for five additional depositions (Dkt. No. 89) is GRANTED.

20

Defendant Carewise Health, Inc., shall bear half the cost of said depositions, plus reasonable

21

attorney’s fees incurred by one (and only one) attorney for plaintiffs in connection therewith.

22

Plaintiffs must keep organized time notes, clearly apportioned and itemized, limited to and in

23

support of such fees and costs sought to be recovered. Bills submitted to Carewise shall be paid

24

promptly within 14 calendar days. All additional depositions must be completed by APRIL 28.

25

In the meantime, both sides may update their expert witness reports to reflect the results

26

of supplemental discovery taken pursuant to the prior order granting in part plaintiffs’ motion

27

for sanctions (Dkt. No. 110). Both sides shall meet and confer, and agree on a date by which all

28

such updates must be completed. Both sides shall then jointly propose a new trial schedule —

1

factoring in the agreed-upon deadline to update expert witness reports — to the Court by

2

MARCH 31 AT NOON.

3

Also for the reasons discussed on the record yesterday, the question of whether further

4

sanctions against Carewise are warranted is reserved until the final pretrial conference in this

5

matter. At that time, plaintiffs may renew their request for further sanctions via a letter brief

6

instead of another formal motion.

7
8

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 24, 2017.
