UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NORTH AMERICAN CAPACITY

INSURANCE COMPANY,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

TURNER CONSTRUCTION

COMPANY, et al., 

 

 Defendants.

_____________________________/

No. C 03-5521 WDB

 

ORDER 

 The Court has reviewed, with some dissatisfaction, the submissions made by the

parties in purported response to the Court's most recent Order, e-filed September 19, 2005.

In particular, plaintiff's submission is clearly inadequate. It does not comply with the Court's

Order.

I. Plaintiff's Mandatory Responsibilities

By November 2, 2005, plaintiff must e-file and serve a written submission which

either (i) identifies the 'additional' actions in which Turner has been named, or (ii) must state

that it has identified no additional actions in which Turner is involved and propose a date

certain by which it will dismiss Turner from this lawsuit. The fact that one of Conco's

attorneys is recovering from surgery does not excuse plaintiff from complying with this

deadline.

Also by November 2, 2005, plaintiff must send a letter to counsel for Zurich

American Insurance Company, copying the court, which clearly sets forth its position as to

the applicability of the cross-liability exclusion as to East Bay Asian Land Development v.

James E. Roberts-Obayashi Corporation and Ron Smits v. William Lyon Homes. In its letter,

plaintiff must respond to the arguments made by Zurich in its August 10, 2005,

correspondence. It may not simply reattach the documentation it provided to Zurich in July

of this year.

If plaintiff does not comply in full with the directives above, the Court will

conduct a hearing on November 30, 2005, at 3:30 p.m. at which PLAINTIFF and

PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL must appear IN PERSON and SHOW CAUSE why (i) the

Court should not impose sanctions for plaintiff's failure to comply with this Order and

its Order filed September 19, 2005, (ii) the plaintiff should not be precluded from

seeking relief as to any actions that it has not yet identified, and (iii) the Court should

not dismiss with prejudice plaintiff's claims against defendant Zurich American

Insurance Company as to East Bay Asian Land Development v. James E. RobertsObayashi Corporation and Ron Smits v. William Lyon Homes.

II. Defendant Roberts-Obayashi's Mandatory Responsibilities

By November 2, 2005, defendant Roberts-Obayashi Corporation must set forth its

position as to whether the pending case of Roberts-Obayashi v. Acceptance Corporation,

Alameda County Case No. RG04150387, constitutes an additional action which must be

addressed (via settlement negotiation, motion practice, or trial) prior to Roberts-Obayashi's

dismissal from this lawsuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
