Pursuant to the Stipulation to Extend Time to Respond to Complaint and to Continue

21

Case Management Conference (“Stipulation”) filed by Plaintiffs Hartford Casualty Insurance

22

Company and Sentinel Insurance Company, Ltd. (collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant

23

Richard B. Teed (“Defendant”), through their respective counsel, to (1) extend the time for

24

Defendant to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiffs’ Complaint for Declaratory Relief for a

25

period of 30 days, and (2) request the Court continue the Case Management Conference

26

currently scheduled for August 2, 2018 for a period of approximately 30 days, the Court hereby

[PROPOSED] ORDER ON STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT AND TO
CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE – Case #3:18-cv-479-RS

3102789v.1

1

Since the parties’ last Stipulation to Extend Time to Respond to Complaint [Doc. 25],

2

certain factual events have transpired that may impact the parties’ positions in this action.

3

Defendant has advised Plaintiffs that another insurance carrier has recently contacted Defendant

4

and that other insurance carrier may have coverage obligations to Defendant regarding the

5

underlying action, which is the subject matter of this action. Defendant is awaiting a written

6

position by the other insurance carrier. Therefore, as the position by the other insurance carrier

7

will likely impact the issues in this action, Defendant requested that its responsive pleading

8

deadline and the Case Management Conference, currently set for August 2, 2018, be continued

9

for 30 days. Given these recent developments, there may be an opportunity for the parties to

10

discuss resolution of this action, but it is impacted by the possible participation of another

11

insurance carrier which is not a party to this action.
In an effort to provide the parties time to explore any possible resolution, the Court

12
13

hereby orders as follows:
[PROPOSED] ORDER

14
15

Based on the terms of the Stipulation and finding that good cause exists:

16

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall have until August 22, 2018 to respond

17

to the Complaint for Declaratory Relief filed by Plaintiffs.

18

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the Case Management Conference is

19

continued from August 2, 2018 until September 6, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 3 to allow

20

the parties time to investigate this matter and explore whether an early resolution of the action is

21

possible. During this time, the parties agree to a standstill of litigation activity to pursue such

22

efforts.
