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 recently received two written submissions in this matter. The first

(not in chronological order) was filed on November 2, 2005, on behalf of plaintiff

North American. It provides the information that the court ordered plaintiff to

provide, so the hearing on an Order to Show Cause that was scheduled for November

30, 2005, is hereby VACATED. 

The second submission was filed on October 19, 2005, on behalf of defendant

Roberts-Obayashi Corporation. This submission is incomprehensible to the court.

Perhaps that is because insufficient information has been provided about what may

be three different state court cases – albeit with very similar case numbers. The

Roberts-Obayashi submission purports to provide information about a case numbered

RGO41503487, a casenumbered RGO4150387, and a case numbered RGO4150397.

Are these really three different cases? If so, who are the parties and what are the

pending and/or likely claims in each? Counsel for Roberts-Obayashi is hereby

ORDERED to answer these questions in English – and to explain, in a systematic way

and without assuming that the undersigned has information about cases filed

elsewhere, what the relationship is between those cases and the issues before this

court in the case at bar. This supplemental submission must be filed by November

18, 2005. 

If plaintiff (North American) wishes to file a motion for summary adjudication

in the case at bar it must do so by January 9, 2006. In advance of any such filing,

plaintiff must secure a date and time for a hearing from Lisa Scarborough, the

undersigned’s administrative law clerk. 

If no motion for summary adjudication has been filed by January 9, 2006, the

undersigned will conduct a case management conference in this matter on

Wednesday, January 11, 2006, at 2:30 p.m. Counsel may appear by phone as long

as they make arrangements to do so in advance with Ms. Scarborough. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
