20

Conference (“ENE”). See ECF No. 29. Mr. Lance Orloff appeared on behalf of Plaintiff and Mr.

21

Robert Finnerty appeared for Defendants Mathias Boermans and Peggy Nickolet. Id. With the

22

permission of the Court, counsel for Defendants Orion Travel Insurance Co. and Chubb

23

Insurance Company of Canada declined to participate in light of Defendants Orion and Chubb’s

24

pending motions to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) [see ECF Nos.

25

8 and 13] and Defendant Chubb’s pending motion to stay [see ECF No. 9].

26

Defendants Mathias Boermans and Peggy Nickolet were unable to settle the matter without the

27

participation of Defendants Orion and Chubb, and the Court declines to open discovery at this

time. Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED to contact the Chambers of Judge Major within
