ORDER REGARDING DISCOVERY
AND MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT AND SETTING CASE
MANAGEMENT DEADLINES
Re: Docket No. 18

12
The Court has received and considered the parties’ joint proposed discovery plan. The

13
14

Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:
1.

15

Having considered the parties’ positions as set forth in their joint discovery plan,

16

the Court concludes that it will permit Defendant to file a motion for summary adjudication on the

17

issue of the duty to defend. Defendant may file its motion for summary judgment on the issue of

18

the duty to defend by no later than March 11, 2016, and it shall notice the motion on an open and

19

available date on the Court’s calendar in accordance with Northern District Civil Local Rule 7-

20

2(a). Plaintiff’s opposition and Defendant’s reply shall be due in accordance with the Northern

21

District Local Rules.
2.

22

The Court also concludes on this record, and without benefit of briefing on the

23

motion for summary adjudication, that Plaintiff has not demonstrated that discovery on the issue

24

of the duty to defend is necessary. However, the Court’s ruling is without prejudice to Plaintiff

25

from renewing her request after she receives Defendant’s motion. If Plaintiff in good faith

26

believes discovery is required to respond to the motion, before the deadline to respond to the

27

motion expires, she may move for discovery in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

28

56(d).
