Case No.: 2:18-cv-02269-JAD-BNW
PLAINTIFF’S STATUS REPORT

Plaintiff United Automobile Insurance Company (“Plaintiff”), provides this Court with a

17 Status Report, and requests that a case scheduling order be entered and discovery be allowed to
18 move forward.
19

On January 14, 2021, Plaintiff filed a Request for Extension of Time to File a Joint Status

20 Request. (ECF No. 84). The reason for the request was the pending Ninth Circuit Mediation, and
21 the hope that progress would be made in settling this, and other related cases that this Court is
22 aware of. On February 1, 2021 this Court granted the Request, giving the parties additional time
23 through the completion of the mediation (ECF No. 90). Several additional extensions have been
24 granted through September 3, 2021.
25

The Ninth Circuit Mediation, after multiple sessions, has now concluded without a

26 resolution. (Exhibit 1, Case No. 20-16729, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
27 Release Order and resetting appellate briefing schedule). Therefore there is no longer a need for
28 a stay of proceedings in case 2:18-cv-02269, as the Ninth Circuit mediation will not resolve this
