INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY CONCLUSION
This matter comes before the Court upon several discovery motions filed by plaintiff,
17
IDS Property and Casualty Insurance Company (“IDS”), which were referred to the
18
undersigned by the Honorable Thomas S. Zilly on December 14, 2016. Dkt. 110. Specifically,
19
the Court has carefully reviewed plaintiff’s Motion in Limine to Prohibit Discovery Regarding
20
the “Reputation” of Daniel E. Thenell, Dkt. 75, Motion to Compel Production, Dkt. 73, Motion
21
to Quash or in the Alternative Motion for Protective Order, Dkt. 78, and Motion to Bifurcate,

Dkt. 99, along with defendant Charles H. Fellows’ (“Fellows”) responses thereto, and all
23
supporting materials. Having considered the parties’ written submissions, the parties’
24
arguments at the January 17, 2017 hearing, the governing law, and the balance of the record,

DISCUSSION
IDS’ Motion in Limine to Prohibit Further Discovery Regarding the Reputation,
Habits, and Violations of Washington Law of Daniel E. Thenell
IDS moved the Court for an Order prohibiting Fellows from deposing and/or requesting
any further discovery regarding the alleged reputation, habits, and violations of Washington
law by its counsel Daniel Thenell, and also prohibiting Fellows from deposing Mr. Thenell.
Dkt. 75 at 2.2 During the January 17, 2017 hearing, however, IDS and Fellows advised the
Court that both sides have completed discovery in this case. The parties also agreed that in
light of the expiration of the discovery deadline on December 2, 2016, IDS’ request that the
Court enter an order limiting the scope of further discovery in this matter is now moot.
IDS then argued, for the first time, that although its motion was framed as a request to
prohibit further discovery regarding Mr. Thenell’s reputation, habits, and alleged violations of
Washington law, the “essence” of that motion was to prevent such evidence from being
presented during the trial of this matter. Dkt. 75. Thus, IDS asked the Court to construe its
discovery motion, which should have been characterized as a request for a protective order, as
a motion in limine to preclude the admission of such reputation evidence at trial.
Fellows responded that IDS’ motion, as written, was limited to the issue of what further
discovery should be allowed in this case – an issue which is now moot. Fellows argued,
20
21
1
22
23
24
Defendant recently filed a Motion to Strike Untimely Expert Disclosure. Dkt. 106.
However, that motion is not yet ripe and will be addressed by separate order by Judge Zilly.
2
Specifically, IDS argues that Mr. Thenell did not perform any quasi-fiduciary duties
for IDS, but only performed legal services at the direction of IDS’ claims department, and
therefore Mr. Thenell’s reputation and habits are not relevant to Fellows’ bad faith claims in
this case. Id. at 8-9.
ORDER - 2
1
however, that if the Court were to reach the question of whether evidence relating to Mr.
2
Thenell’s reputation and habits should be admissible at trial, the Court should find that Fellows
3
has a right to offer such reputation evidence in order to establish a pattern, practice, or other
4
acts by Mr. Thenell, who was acting as an agent for IDS while he investigated Fellows’ claim.
5
Based upon the parties’ representation that no further discovery will be conducted in
6
this matter, as the discovery deadline has now passed, the Court DENIES IDS’ Motion in
7
Limine to Prohibit Discovery Regarding “Reputation” of Daniel E. Thenell, Dkt. 75, as
8
MOOT. The Court further declines IDS’ invitation to rule on the admissibility of evidence
9
regarding Mr. Thenell’s reputation, habits, or alleged violations of Washington law at trial, as
10
this was not the issue presented by IDS’ October 2016 discovery motion.3 Moreover, as
11
explained below, the Court finds that the question of whether evidence of Mr. Thenell’s
12
reputation or habits, i.e. evidence of a pattern, practice, or other acts, is properly admissible at
13
trial under the Rules of Evidence, is best resolved by Judge Zilly at time of trial.
14
As a threshold matter, the Court notes that to date, Judge Zilly has not made any ruling
15
regarding the admissibility of reputation evidence related to Mr. Thenell, but has only ruled on
16
what discovery requests can be properly directed to IDS’ Rule 30(b)(6) representatives.
17
Specifically, Judge Zilly limited the scope of Fellows’ discovery requests to IDS’
18
representatives by issuing a protective order on May 2, 2016 “prohibiting any representatives
19
and the disclosure of any documents responsive to defendant’s Rule 30(b)(6) notice requests
20
21
22
23

3
As discussed in more detail below, it was apparent at the January 17, 2017 hearing
that a substantial amount of time and effort expended by the parties, as well as the Court, on
IDS’ discovery motions could have been avoided if IDS’ counsel had made a meaningful effort
to meet and confer with Fellows’ counsel as required by the local rules of this district.
However, IDS routinely ignored this district’s meet and confer procedures, relying instead on
last minute emails to Fellows’ counsel without giving them a reasonable period of time in
which to respond.
ORDER - 3
1
21-24.” Dkt. 35 at 1.4 By contrast, Judge Zilly explicitly denied plaintiff’s request to prohibit
2
further discovery regarding “[a]ll instructions, documents and actions taken by Dan Thenell
3
relating to the investigation into the claims made by Charles Fellows,” which he ruled “may be
4
covered in the 30(b)(6) deposition.” Id.
Moreover, on May 13, 2016, Judge Zilly acknowledged that under Washington law, in
5
6
the context of first-party insurance claims of bad faith, a presumption exists that the insurer has
7
no attorney-client privilege vis-à-vis the insured concerning claims-handling materials. Dkt. 45
8
at 1 (citing Cedell v. Farmers Ins. Co. of Wash., 176 Wn.2d 686, 698-99, 700, 295 P.3d 239
9
(2013)). However, that presumption may be rebutted by the insurer’s showing that its attorney
10
was not engaged in the “quasi-fiduciary tasks of investigating and evaluating the claim,” but
11
was instead “providing the insurer with counsel as to its own potential liability.” Id. (citing
12
Cedell, 176 Wn.d2d at 699). Pursuant to Cedell, Judge Zilly conducted an in camera review of
13
several documents from the claims file to determine whether IDS had overcome the
14
presumption against attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. Id. at 2-3.
15
Following his in camera review, Judge Zilly issued a June 10, 2016 Minute Order finding that
16
“the Court is satisfied that, with one exception, plaintiff IDS has appropriately invoked its
17
attorney-client and/or work-product privilege” as to the specific documents he had reviewed in
18
camera. Dkt. 46 at 1.
Thus, although Judge Zilly found that IDS had properly invoked the attorney-client
19
20
21
22
23
24
and/or work-product privilege as to the specific claim documents he reviewed in camera,
4
Specifically, the four prohibited topics for IDS’ representatives were “[a]ll investigations,
materials, or documents concerning the reputation of Dan Thenell” (21) for fairness towards
insureds in insurance investigations, (22) for the creation of coverage disputes where no
legitimate coverage question exists, (23) for filing false frivolous lawsuits, and (24) for the
erection of artificial roadblocks to delay or defeat legitimate claims of insureds.
Dkt. 30 at 2.
ORDER - 4
1
Judge Zilly did not make any finding regarding whether Mr. Thenell had otherwise engaged in
2
“the quasi-fiduciary tasks of investigating and evaluating the claim” during other aspects of
3
Mr. Thenell’s work for IDS. IDS’ contention that Judge Zilly has already held that Mr.
4
Thenell was not engaged in quasi-fiduciary tasks throughout his investigation of Fellows’
5
claim on behalf of IDS misconstrues the scope of Judge Zilly’s orders.
6
The undersigned is not in a position, based upon the limited record before it, to rule on
7
this issue. However, the Court does note that Mr. Thenell’s own concessions at the hearing
8
established that his work for IDS was not limited to counseling IDS as to its potential liability
9
under the insurance policy. Mr. Thenell was responsible for handling all direct
10
communications with the insured on behalf of IDS.5 Mr. Thenell was also actively involved in
11
investigating plaintiff’s claim on behalf of IDS, including personally conducting the
12
Examinations Under Oath (“EUOs”) of the named insureds, Mr. Fellows and Ms. Osborne.6
13
Several federal courts have recognized that when Mr. Thenell conducts EUOs on behalf of an
14
insurance company, he is performing investigative work and therefore has quasi-fiduciary
15
obligations to the insured like any other insurance adjuster or SIU investigator. See Linder v.
16
Great N. Ins. Co., No. C15-5002-RBL, 2016 WL 740261, at *2 (W.D. Wash. February 25,
17
2016) (holding that in contrast to legal counsel from several other law firms, whose
18
involvement in the case was limited to “analyzing the insurer’s legal rights, a non-fiduciary
19
task” or other work produced only “in anticipation of litigation,” much of the work performed
20
by Mr. Thenell and his law group amounted to “quasi-fiduciary tasks” because “Thenell
21

24
5
For example, Mr. Thenell sent Fellows’ counsel the December 6, 2016 letter denying
coverage under the policy, after Judge Zilly directed IDS to make a coverage decision. Dkt.
102-1.
6
The parties also advised the Court that early in the case, they discussed whether Mr.
Thenell may need to withdraw as legal counsel for IDS, in light of his active role in
investigating Fellows’ claim. To date, Mr. Thenell has elected not to do so, and Fellows has
not sought disqualification.

investigated, evaluated, and assisted with the processing of Linder’s claim.”); Mogadam v.
2
Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co., No. 214CV00224EJLCWD, 2015 WL 6510352, at *1-2 (D. Idaho
3
October 28, 2015) (“It is undisputed the Thenell Law Group engaged in a quasi-fiduciary role
4
by evaluating and investigating Mogadam’s claim and by providing legal analysis to Liberty
5
Mutual,” and therefore documents generated as part of the investigation of the claim, including
6
a status report from Thenell Law Group regarding the EUO of the insured, must be un-redacted
7
and produced).
8
Thus, whether Mr. Thenell owed Mr. Fellows a quasi-fiduciary duty because he was
9
actively investigating Fellows’ claim as an agent of IDS and whether Mr. Thenell’s conduct
10
during the investigation breached that duty, are questions to be resolved at time of trial. Judge
11
Zilly will therefore be in the best position to determine whether Fellows can introduce
12
evidence of Mr. Thenell’s reputation under Fed. R. Evid. 405(a) and 406 to establish a pattern
13
or practice of behavior by Mr. Thenell which can in turn, be imputed to IDS, because Mr.
14
Thenell was acting as IDS’ agent.7 It would clearly be at odds with Washington law if Mr.
15
Thenell, while acting as an agent of an insurance company, could violate the rights of the
16
insureds during a claim investigation, but remain immune from reproach regarding unlawful
17
patterns or practices (unlike a non-lawyer SIU investigator or insurance adjuster who conducts
18
claim investigations on behalf of an insurer) simply because he subsequently represents the
19
insurer as legal counsel.
20
On the other hand, Fellows indicated that to establish the reputation, pattern and
21
practice of Mr. Thenell, he was prepared to call at least five witnesses. This, of course, would
22
open the door to IDS calling witnesses to defend the character of Mr. Thenell, risking the
23
24
7
Fellows argues that when IDS hired Mr. Thenell it knew, or should have known, that
he had a longstanding reputation for bias against the interests of insured claimants and against
coverage, and that Fellows’ claim was largely being “handled” for IDS by Mr. Thenell.
ORDER - 6
1
possibility of a potentially collateral issue taking predominance over what happened in this
2
case. Because neither the quality of proffered evidence, nor whether the quantum of evidence
3
arises to the level of habit, is before the undersigned, the Court recommends that Judge Zilly
4
resolve the question of the admissibility of “reputation” evidence at time of trial or a motion in
5
limine hearing prior to trial directed to these trial issues rather than discovery issues.
6
B.
IDS’ Motion to Compel Production
7
During the hearing, the parties agreed that the only remaining discovery disputes in this
8
case that required resolution by the Court were IDS’ Requests for Production 48 and 49, which
9
are both requests for emails. For the first time, IDS also clarified that with respect to IDS RFP
10
49, IDS was only seeking all emails sent or received by any member of Keller Rohrback that
11
refer to Dan Thenell’s “reputation.”
12
IDS RFP Nos. 48 and 49 to Fellows
13
IDS RFP No. 48: All Emails between Keller Rorback (sic) and Lether Law Firm
regarding Charles Fellows, this lawsuit, Fellows claim, Ms. Osborne.
14
15
IDS RFP No. 49: All Emails sent or received that mention Dan Thenell or Thenell
Law Group from any member of Keller Rohrback.
16
On June 6, 2016, Fellows responded to IDS’ RFP No. 48 by providing 959 pages of
17
bates-stamped but fully redacted emails (LETHEREMAILS_00001 to
18
LETHEREMAILS_000959), which Fellows represents are mostly comprised of exhibits that
19
Mr. Lether’s office had forwarded to Keller Rohrback when the case was initially being
20
transferred. Fellows indicated that the emails were all redacted because they were “subject to
21
the attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine.” Dkt. 74 (Hill Decl.), Ex. 7 at 2.
22
Fellows did not provide an email-by-email privilege log for the emails, which is the common
23
practice (and expectation) in this district. During the hearing, Fellows’ counsel argued that if
24
IDS needed an email-by-email privilege log, IDS should have requested one several months
ORDER - 7
1
ago instead of delaying this request until so close to the trial date. However, Fellows’ counsel
2
also offered to provide a privilege log identifying the dates of the emails exchanged between
3
Mr. Lether’s office and Keller Rohrback, to satisfy IDS that the emails did not include more
4
recent (unprivileged) discussions regarding Mr. Thenell’s reputation.
5
The Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART IDS’ RFP 48. First, the Court
6
finds that, consistent with the well established law of the Ninth Circuit, an email-by-email
7
privilege log should have been provided to IDS by Fellows in June 2016 to confirm that these
8
were privileged communications between Fellows’ former and current legal counsel.
9
However, this failing by Fellows is tempered by IDS’ corresponding failure to request the
10
privilege log for almost seven months, or meaningfully meet and confer with Fellows
11
regarding this issue. Accordingly, Fellows’ counsel shall provide IDS with a limited privilege
12
log identifying emails exchanged between Lether’s office and Keller Rohrback which also
13
were sent or exchanged with third parties (other than Mr. Fellows) where the privilege may
14
have been waived.
15
With respect to IDS RFP No. 49 (as amended at the hearing), which seeks all emails of
16
Keller Rohrback employees related to the “reputation” of Mr. Thenell, Fellows has objected on
17
the grounds that the request (which relates to all Keller Rohrback custodians for an unlimited
18
period of time) was overbroad, seeks information subject to attorney-client privilege and the
19
work product doctrine, and seeks confidential information concerning clients other than Mr.
20
Fellows. Dkt. 74, Ex. 7 at 3. During the hearing, Fellows further explained that Keller
21
Rohrback had already searched the emails of several Keller Rohrback attorneys, paralegals,
22
and legal assistants exchanged with the witnesses who may be called to testify regarding Mr.
23
Thenell’s reputation, and in December 2016 Fellows produced approximately 6,000 emails to
24
ORDER - 8
1
IDS. Especially in light of the large volume of responsive material recently produced, Fellows
2
argues that IDS’ request would be unduly burdensome for Keller Rohrback.
The Court DENIES IDS’ request for further production of Keller Rohrback emails.
3
4
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 provides that “[p]arties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged
5
matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense and proportional to the needs of the
6
case.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). Of the enumerated considerations that bear on proportionality,
7
“the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues” and “whether the burden or expense
8
of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit” particularly favor Fellows in this case.
9
Given the voluminous evidence already produced to IDS regarding Keller Rohrback’s
10
counsel’s views on Mr. Thenell’s reputation, the requested emails would include information
11
that is negligibly relevant, potentially privileged, and unduly burdensome. Accordingly, the
12
information sought is disproportional to the needs of the case, and IDS RFP No. 49 (as
13
amended) is DENIED.
14
C.
IDS’ Motion to Quash or Motion for Protective Order
15
IDS also moved the Court to quash any further depositions of IDS’ representatives
16
conducted by opposing counsel Mr. Smart, or in the alternative, to enter a protective order
17
regarding any future depositions. Dkt. 78. In addition, IDS asked the Court to award sanctions
18
against opposing counsel in the amount of $50,000 pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(2) and
19
37(b)(2) for inquiring beyond the scope of the Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) designations during the
20
four 30(b)(6) depositions conducted on April 19, 2016 and October 19, 2016, and for “abusive,
21
argumentative, and otherwise inappropriate conduct during [the] depositions.” Dkt. 78 at 2,
22
16.8
23
8
24
Specifically, IDS alleges that Mr. Smart should be ordered to refrain from (1) raising
his voice at witnesses, (2) abusing witnesses, (3) repeatedly asking the same question which
ORDER - 9
1
Although the Court was prepared to order that all future depositions in this case be
2
conducted in chambers, to ensure appropriate conduct by counsel for both sides in the future,
3
the expiration of the discovery period renders IDS’ motion, Dkt. 78, MOOT. As discussed on
4
the record, the Court also denies IDS’ request for financial terms. District courts have broad
5
discretion in imposing discovery sanctions. Ritchie v. U.S., 451 F.3d 1019, 1026 (9th Cir.
6
2006) (citing Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. Natural Beverage Distribs., 69 F.3d 337, 348 (9th Cir.
7
1995)). Having carefully reviewed the video excerpts submitted by IDS, as well as the parties’
8
submissions, the Court does not find that sanctions against Fellows’ counsel are called for in
9
this case. Although the Court was greatly troubled by several questions asked by Fellow’s
10
counsel during Rule 30(b)(6) depositions that violated Judge Zilly’s protective order, the Court
11
is equally troubled by the conduct of IDS’ counsel, who made repetitive, boilerplate objections
12
throughout the depositions and has failed to meaningfully meet and confer with respect to these
13
discovery motions. Accordingly, IDS’ motion for sanctions is DENIED.
14
D.
IDS’ Motion to Bifurcate the Trial
15
Finally, IDS moves the Court to bifurcate, or “phase,” the trial of this matter. Dkt. 99.
16
Specifically, IDS asks the Court to first try the coverage issues presented by IDS’ complaint
17
for declaratory relief, Dkt. 1, and then try Fellows’ counterclaims, Dkt. 10, so as to promote
18
judicial economy and avoid undue prejudice. IDS contends that whether it had any contractual
19
obligation to provide coverage or make payments to Mr. Fellows should be resolved first, in a
20
separate trial, because it is a possibly dispositive issue that may preclude the “non-contractual”
21
claims from proceeding.
22
23
24
has already been answered, (4) asking questions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) witnesses which
are outside the scope of their designations, (5) being argumentative with witnesses, and (6)
making baseless accusations. Dkt. 78 at 2-3.
ORDER - 10
1
Fellows responds that bifurcating this case into multiple trials would not serve judicial
2
economy, but would result in two trials and the unnecessary duplication of evidence. Dkt. 101
3
at 1. In particular, Fellows asserts that a determination of coverage is not dispositive of
4
Fellows’ extracontractual claims, and therefore bifurcation would necessarily result in two
5
trials instead of one. Id. Finally, Fellows asserts that any possible prejudice to IDS can be
6
mitigated by the use of jury instructions. Id.
7
Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(b) provides that “[f]or convenience, to avoid prejudice, or to
8
expedite and economize, the court may order a separate trial of one or more separate issues,
9
claims, cross-claims, counterclaims, or third-party claims.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(b). The decision
10
to bifurcate is committed to the sound discretion of the trial court. Hangarter v. Provident Life
11
and Acc. Ins. Co., 373 F.3d 998, 1021 (9th Cir. 2004). The Ninth Circuit has stated that a
12
district court’s decision declining to bifurcate comports with normal trial procedure. Id.
13
The moving party must prove that bifurcation would promote judicial economy or that
14
it would avoid inconvenience or prejudice to the parties. Karpenski v. American General Life
15
Companies, LLC, 916 F. Supp. 2d 1188, 1190 (W.D. Wash. 2012). Where an overlap of
16
factual issues exists between the claims, courts are reluctant to bifurcate the proceedings. Dees
17
v. AllState Ins. Co, Case. No. C12-0483-JLR, 2012 WL 3877708 (citing McLaughlin v. State
18
Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 30 F.3d 861, 871 (7th Cir. 1994)). If a single issue could be
19
dispositive of the case or is likely to lead the parties to negotiate a settlement, and resolution of
20
it might make it unnecessary to try the other issues in the litigation, separate trial of that issue
21
may be desirable to save the time of the court and reduce the expenses of the parties. Id.
22
(citing Allstate Ins. Co. v. Breeden, 410 F. App’x 6, 9 (9th Cir. 2010)). If, however, the
23
preliminary and separate trial of an issue will involve extensive proof and substantially the
24
same facts or witnesses as the other issues in the cases, or if any saving in time and expense is
ORDER - 11
1
wholly speculative, the motion should be denied. Id. Numerous federal courts have
2
recognized the substantial overlap between the issues of coverage and bad faith, such that
3
bifurcation of the issues is often appropriate. Id. (collecting cases).
4
The Court has considered IDS’ motion to bifurcate, but does not find that bifurcation of
5
this trial would promote judicial economy because there is significant factual overlap between
6
the contractual and non-contractual claims. To date, it does not appear that IDS has attempted
7
to segregate discovery related to coverage from discovery related to the extracontractual
8
claims, as the two are inextricably intertwined. For example, IDS’ initial disclosures did not
9
distinguish among witnesses who will testify regarding coverage as opposed to those who
10
would testify regarding claims handling. Most importantly, it appears that IDS relies on the
11
same facts and claims investigation to defend its coverage position that Fellows intends to rely
12
on to support his extracontractual claims that IDS’ claims handling ran afoul of Washington
13
law. For example, although IDS has recently denied coverage to Mr. Fellows based in part
14
upon a finding that Ms. Osborne’s conduct at the house did not constitute “domestic violence”
15
within the meaning of the applicable statute, Fellows’ extracontractual claims are based in part
16
on what steps IDS took to investigate the domestic violence exception in this case. See Dkt.
17
101 at 4-5.
18
Moreover, a policyholder may bring claims against his or her insurer regardless of
19
whether the insurance ultimately prevails on its coverage decision. See Coventry Associates v.
20
American States Ins. Co., 136 Wn.2d 269, 279, 961 P.2d 933 (1998). Even if IDS were to
21
obtain equitable relief and prevail on the issue of coverage during the first phase of a bifurcated
22
trial, this would not necessarily dispose of the lawsuit because Fellows may still pursue his bad
23
faith claim, for example, against IDS. See Beacon Theatres, Inc. v. Westover, 359 U.S. 500,
24
ORDER - 12
1
510-11 (1959) (holding that “only under the most imperative circumstances . . . can the right to
2
a jury trial of legal issues be lost through prior determination of equitable claims.”).
3
Accordingly, in keeping with the normal trial procedures of the Ninth Circuit, the
4
Court DENIES IDS’ motion to bifurcate this trial into two phases, Dkt. 99, which would likely
5
lead to duplicated efforts and increased costs. Proper jury instructions, as well as a proper
6
verdict form, can help alleviate any potential for prejudice to IDS or jury confusion.
