This matter comes before the Court on the Parties’ Joint Motion for Leave to File
Motions for Partial Summary Judgment. Dkt. # 205. The Parties assert that, following
the Ninth Circuit’s opinion in Ingenco Holdings LLC v. ACE American Ins. Co., 921 F.3d
803 (9th Cir. 2019), several issues remain. Id. To resolve those issues, the Parties
suggest filing additional motions for partial summary judgment. Id. They also request a
telephonic hearing to discuss the briefing schedule for such motions and the Court’s
“preferred format for addressing th[e remaining] legal issues.” Id. The Court agrees that
this matter would benefit from additional partial summary judgment motions. But it sees
no reason to grant the Parties’ request for a telephonic hearing; a joint statement would be

just as effective. The Court instructs the Parties to submit a joint statement, no longer
than five pages, by November 16, 2020. That statement should include (1) the issues
that the Parties will address in their motions and (2) a stipulated briefing schedule. Of
course, if an agreement cannot be reached, the parties should set forth their respective
proposals or positions.
For the reasons stated above, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part
