EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT BRANDT FEES 

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (“Intuitive”) and Illinois Union Insurance Company (“Illinois Union”) 

jointly stipulate, pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1(b), 6-2, and 7-12, to extend the current deadline 

for fact discovery, with respect to the production of documents relating to Brandt fees only, until 

May 19, 2017 (30 days before trial). 

WHEREAS, Intuitive is seeking Brandt fees in connection with its implied covenant of good 

faith and fair dealing claim against Illinois Union (see Brandt v. Superior Court, 37 Cal. 3d 813 

(1985)); 

WHEREAS, as currently scheduled, the deadline for all fact discovery is November 10, 2016 

(Dkt. 186); 

WHEREAS, as currently scheduled, a jury trial is set for June 19, 2017 (Dkt. 186);

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred, and agree that to the extent that Intuitive 

produces any evidence supporting Brandt fees, including legal bills, invoices, or receipts, such 

evidence need not be produced until May 19, 2017 (30 days before trial); 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties, through the undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate with 

respect to the deadlines previously imposed in Case No. 3:13-cv-04863-JST: 

• that the November 10, 2016 deadline for fact discovery be extended until May 19, 

2017 (30 days before trial) solely for the production of evidence supporting Brandt

fees.
