United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS F., CAROL F., and GRACE F.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 12-cv-02819-MMC 

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE STIPULATION TO FILE 

EVIDENTIARY RECORD IN 

ELECTRONIC FORMAT

Re: Dkt. No. 145

On November 3, 2015, the above-titled action, which at the time was brought on 

behalf of twenty-seven named plaintiffs, was reassigned to the undersigned. On 

November 13, 2015, in anticipation of a then impending deadline for the filing of crossmotions for summary judgment, the parties filed a “Joint Stipulation to File Full Scope of 

Evidence to be Considered by the Court in Electronic Format” (hereinafter, “Stipulation”),

by which the parties requested permission to file the evidentiary record on a “USB drive.” 

(See Stipulation, filed Nov. 13, 2015, at 1:24.) 

Thereafter, however, at the plaintiffs’ request for relief from the above-referenced 

deadline, the Court vacated the briefing schedule, directed the parties to address whether 

the plaintiffs’ claims should be severed (see Order, filed Nov. 20, 2015), and, on the 

parties’ subsequent stipulation, granted severance of all remaining claims other than the 

single claim asserted by the first three named plaintiffs (see Order, filed Jan. 22, 2016).

Given that the circumstances since the filing of the Stipulation have markedly 

changed, the Stipulation is hereby DENIED without prejudice to renewal, if appropriate, at
