WHEREAS, on January 22, 2009, at the hearing on the cross-motions for partial summary judgment of Defendant State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm") and Plaintiff Arnesha Garner ("Plaintiff"), the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer regarding the appropriate scope of discovery prior to briefing on class certification. WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred regarding the proper scope of discovery at this stage of the case, pursuant to the Court's order. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiff and State Farm, by and through their respective counsel, stipulate that: Discovery shall be phased between class and merits discovery with discovery regarding class certification issues proceeding now and discovery regarding merits being stayed until a determination has been made on class certification. The parties reserve the right to take the position that discovery may be had related to class certification issues even if that discovery overlaps with merits issues. Any discovery dispute regarding whether certain discovery is certification-related or merits-related that cannot be informally resolved, will be submitted to Magistrate Judge Chen and shall be subject to Fed.R.Civ.P. 72 and Local Rule 72.
