Case No. 2:17-cv-01371-JCM-PAL
Plaintiff,

ORDER
(Stip to Stay Disc – ECF No. 14)

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES
GROUP, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

13

Before the court is the parties’ Stipulation and Order to Stay Discovery Pending Ruling on

14

Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 14). The parties propose staying all discovery in this case until

15

decision on defendant Hartford’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 5). The motion to dismiss argues

16

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is not the insurer of the policy at issue in the complaint

17

and therefore is not a proper party defendant. The motion claims that the policy at issue, which

18

was attached to plaintiff’s complaint, was issued by Sentinel Insurance Co., Ltd. Both defendants

19

are represented by the same counsel and no reason is given for why discovery should not proceed

20

with respect to defendant Sentinel. Accordingly,

21

IT IS ORDERED that the parties’ Stipulation and Order to Stay Discovery Pending Ruling

22

on Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 14) is DENIED. The parties shall have until July 11, 2017, to

23

submit a proposed discovery plan and scheduling order.

24

DATED this 29th day of June, 2017.
