Robbins v. Amica Mutual Insurance Company Doc. 12 Case 1:06-cv-00529-MSK Document 12 Filed 04/10/2006 Page 1 of 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Honorable Marcia S. Krieger Civil Action No. 06-cv-00529-MSK-CBS VERNON ROBBINS, Plaintiff, v. AMICA MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. PROCEDURAL ORDER This case originated in the Boulder County District Court in 2003. Plaintiff Vernon Robbins and others sued several insurance companies, including Defendant Amica Mutual Insurance Company (" mica". The Plaintiffs in the underlying action purported to assert claims A ) on behalf of a class. After two-and-one-half years, some Defendants filed motions to sever and some of the Plaintiffs stipulated to severance. On February 24, 2006, the Boulder County District Court granted the stipulated motions, apparently creating a number of separate cases under the umbrella of one case number. On March 24, 2006, Amica filed its Notice of Removal, as did several other insurance companies. Separate cases have been opened in this court and assigned to various judicial officers. The transfer of filings from the state system to the federal system has not been seamless. It is not clear whether all of the severed cases have been removed or whether some remain in state Dockets.Justia.com Case 1:06-cv-00529-MSK Document 12 Filed 04/10/2006 Page 2 of 2 court.
