MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: Esther Markwordt v. Life Insurance Co. of North America
Civil No. JFM-15-1035

Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed your letter briefs.
I am inclined to believe that plaintiff should be entitled to some discovery. It is difficult
for me to determine, however, from the papers that have been filed whether the discovery sought
by plaintiff is proper. A determination of that issue will have to be made in the normal course of
litigation.
The discovery deadline is December 30, 2015. Plaintiffs are limited to 7 hours of
deposition witnesses.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.
Very truly yours,
/s/

J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
