Case No. 2:17-cv-01878-APG-PAL
Plaintiff,

v.
MID-CENTURY INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT
AND REFERRING REQUEST FOR A
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE TO
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
(ECF No. 14)

9

Defendant Mid-Century Insurance Company moves for summary judgment on plaintiff

11

Julie E. Taylor’s extra-contractual claims for bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, and unfair claims

12

practices. ECF No. 14. Taylor concedes Mid-Century is entitled to judgment on her extra-

13

contractual claims. ECF No. 15 at 2-3. I therefore grant Mid-Century’s motion.

14

In her response to Mid-Century’s motion, Taylor requests the court set the remaining

15

breach of contract claim for a settlement conference. Mid-Century states in its reply that is

16

amenable to a settlement conference. ECF No. 16 at 2. I defer to Magistrate Judge Leen whether

17

to await this court’s normal procedure of scheduling a settlement conference after entry of the

18

joint pretrial order or to schedule one sooner.
