STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING BRIEFING AND HEARING DATE FOR ZURICH DISCOVERY MOTION RE JANUARY 30, 2007

DISCLOSURES FROM SRHP'S EXPERT, PAUL HAMILTON - C 05-00198 JW

WHEREAS, on January 30, 2007, the day before the then-scheduled deposition of plaintiff

SRHP’s bad faith expert, Paul Hamilton, SRHP disclosed an additional expert report that it entitled

as a “supplemental” report and certain additional documents from Mr. Hamilton;

WHEREAS, defendant and cross-claimant Zurich contends it is necessary to resolve the

propriety of Mr. Hamilton’s January 30, 2007 disclosures before a deposition of Mr. Hamilton is

conducted and, because of the impending discovery cutoff, it would be impossible to have the

dispute heard under normal motion notice requirements and decided before expiration of the

discovery cutoff in this case;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to stipulate to shorten time for the briefing and hearing

of a motion by Zurich to exclude the January 30, 2007 Hamilton disclosures;

WHEREFORE, the parties have agreed to the following briefing schedule on Zurich’s motion

to exclude the January 30, 2007 Hamilton disclosures:

1. Zurich’s motion shall be heard before Magistrate Judge Lloyd on Tuesday, February

20, 2007 at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the court can set the matter for

hearing.

2. Zurich’s motion is to be filed by February 5, 2007, with SRHP accepting electronic

service on that date as equivalent to personal service of the pleadings;

3. Any opposition pleadings are to be filed and served electronically by SRHP by 1 p.m.

on February 12, 2007; 

4. Reply pleadings (if any) are to be filed by Zurich on or before February 15, 2007; and 

5. Finally, SRHP and Zurich agree that, after Zurich’s motion has been decided by the

Court, SRHP will make Mr. Hamilton available for deposition, at a mutually

agreeable date and time, even if the deposition must proceed after the February 23,

2007 discovery cutoff. It is agreed that this agreement by SRHP for the production of

Mr. Hamilton for deposition shall not be cited by the parties as grounds to change or

continue any other Court-ordered dates.
