of the Court, all parties, and all witnesses pending the resolution of two related appeals that may 

impact trial and resolution of this action. Dkt 83, 89. 

There are two appeals related to this Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”) action that have 

been fully briefed and are currently pending before the Ninth Circuit: (1) Ninth Circuit Case 

No. 14-16079, an appeal of this Court’s denial of a motion to intervene by Security National 

Insurance Co. in this action, Holloway v. United States, No. 2:12-cv-2120 MCE-CKD; and 

(2) Ninth Circuit Case No. 14-15479, an appeal of this Court’s grant of the United States’ motion 

to dismiss the complaint in the related action, Security National Insurance Co. v. United States, 

No. 2:13-cv-1594 MCE-CKD. Both appeals have been assigned to the same merits panel. On 

October 22, 2015, the Ninth Circuit issued notices that both appeals are being considered for the 

February 2016 oral argument calendar. Because the resolution of either appeal may affect the 

trial and resolution of this lawsuit and because the appeals are now being considered for oral 

argument in February 2016, the same month in which trial in this action is currently scheduled, 

the parties respectfully request continuing the dates set for trial, the Final Pretrial Conference, 

and pretrial filings to conserve the resources and time of the Court, all parties, and all witnesses. 

The current and proposed schedules are provided below for the Court’s reference. 

Further, the United States is not aware of any five-year rule regarding the length of time 

in which an FTCA action must be brought to trial in federal court, and as such, does not object to 

continuing the trial in this action pending the resolution of the two related appeals. 

The United States will promptly inform Plaintiffs regarding the resolution of the pending 

appeals. If the pending appeals are not resolved by May 31, 2016, the parties will then meet and 

confer regarding a trial schedule and will contact chambers regarding available trial dates. The 

parties will file a Joint Status Report by June 7, 2016 to update the Court regarding the pending 

appeals and to either confirm the August 8, 2016 trial date or provide a revised proposed 

schedule for the Final Pretrial Conference and trial of this action, Holloway v. United States, 

No. 2:12-cv-2120 MCE-CKD.
