IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SAN JOSE DIVISION

National Union Fire Insurance Co., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

Seagate Technology, Inc.,

Defendant. /

NO. C 04-01593 JW 

ORDER FOLLOWING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On October 22, 2007, the Court conducted a Case Management Conference. The parties

were represented by their respective counsel. Based on the discussion with the parties, the Court has

identified five issues remaining in the case requiring the Court’s determination. The issues are as

follows:

(1) When the duty to defend Seagate in the Convolve action arose as to AISLIC.

(2) Reconsideration of when the duty to defend Seagate in the Convolve action arose as

to AIU and National Union.

(3) Whether the duty to defend Seagate in the Convolve action terminated as to AISLIC,

and if so, when the duty terminated.

(4) Whether AISLIC acted in bad faith in refusing to defend Seagate, and whether

discovery is necessary for the Court to make a finding on this issue. 

(5) Whether Plaintiffs are obligated to indemnify Seagate with respect to a judgment in

the Convolve action, and whether this issue is ripe for the Court to consider.
