By Minute Order entered May 8, 2017, docket no. 31, plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the
pleadings was DENIED in part as to the duty to defend, in light of disputes concerning material
facts, and DEFERRED in part as to any duty of indemnification. Plaintiff does not appear to be
seeking reconsideration of the Court’s ruling on the motion for judgment on the pleadings, but
rather seems to be asking that the Court lift or vacate the stay in this matter to permit plaintiff to
proceed to trial on the duty to defend. Before the stay was imposed, this case was set for trial on
January 29, 2018. See Minute Order (docket no. 16). In any response and any reply relating to
plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration, the parties shall address: (i) when the underlying state
court litigation between the Mehling Defendants and the Chapter 7 Trustee for the Andrew Kim
Bankruptcy Estate is anticipated to be resolved; and (ii) when the parties could be prepared for
trial in this matter on the duty to defend.
