STIPULATION AND ORDER TO MODIFY INITIAL PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER 

AND JOINT REPORT OF THE PARTIES OUTLINING DISCOVERY PLAN 

2

Rule 26(f)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The parties in this action agree and stipulate that good cause exists to modify the

IPSO and Discovery Plan as set forth herein. Good cause exists in that:

a. The parties made their Initial Disclosures herein pursuant to 

Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 on December 13, 2017.

b. On January 5, 2018, Plaintiffs propounded requests for production of 

documents to all defendants. These requests requested production of Defendants’ 

documents on February 12, 2018.

c. Defendant Patriot National, Inc. (“Patriot”) filed for bankruptcy 

protection on January 30, 2018, thus effectively staying proceedings herein. A 

stipulation to sever Patriot and proceed with the balance of the action has been 

submitted to the Court.

d. Defendants ISR Holdings, Inc., also known as Intercare Specialty 

Risk Insurance Services, Inc. (“ISR”), Phoenix Risk Management, Inc. 

(“Phoenix”) and Kevin Hamm (“Hamm”) have responded to Plaintiffs’ requests 

for production of documents by stating that they are unable to complete the 

production of the requested documents until June, 2018. The parties have met and 

conferred about this delay. The above defendants continue to represent that they 

cannot complete their necessary privilege review and production of documents 

prior to June, 2018. This delay prevents the parties from proceeding with nonexpert discovery within the time frames contemplated by the IPSO and the 

Discovery Plan.

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO MODIFY INITIAL PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER

e. Good cause exists to extend the deadline for completing non-expert 

discovery that is set out in the IPSO and the Joint Report to November 30, 2018, in 

view of the above delays.

Therefore, the parties stipulate and request the Court to enter an order that the 

IPSO is modified as follows:

On p. 2, lines 17-18, the sentence shall be modified to read as follows:

“All discovery, with the exception of expert discovery, shall be completed no later 

than November 30, 2018.”

In all other respects, the IPSO is unchanged.

Additionally, the parties stipulate and request the Court to enter an order that the 

Discovery Plan is be modified as follows:

On p. 3, line 21, the deadline for completing depositions by oral examination shall 

be modified to November 30, 2018.

On p. 4, line 5, the deadline for completing depositions by written questions shall 

be modified to November 30, 2018.

In all other respects, the Discovery Plan is unchanged.
