Complaint Filed: 1/3/18

Plaintiff TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY COMPANY OF AMERICA, a 

Connecticut corporation (“Travelers”) and Defendant PAUL RYAN ASSOCIATES, a California 

corporation (“Ryan Associates”) by and through their respective attorneys of record hereby 

stipulate to a continuance of the Initial Case Management Conference in this matter scheduled for 

April 5, 2018 in Courtroom 5, 17th Floor, San Francisco, California to April 26, 2018, at 9:30 

a.m., for the sole, express purpose of allowing counsel for Ryan Associates to participate in a

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE -

CASE NO. 3:18-CV-00038-EMC)

mediation in the underlying San Francisco Superior Court action, Paul Ryan Associates v. 44 

Normandie, LLC et al. (Case No. CGC-09-486995) (the “Underlying Action”).

1. Due to prior commitments, the mediator only has April 5, 2018 available to conduct 

the mediation before the commencement of the Phase II jury trial in the Underlying Action.

2. The April 5, 2018 mediation in the Underlying Action presents a schedule conflict 

for Ryan Associates’ counsel. Traveler’s counsel of record is available to attend the April 5, 2018 

Initial Case Management Conference in this action.

3. The scheduled April 5, 2018 mediation likely presents the last, best opportunity to 

settle the Underlying Action (and possibly resolve the issues in this action) before the 

commencement of the Phase II jury trial.

4. Many of the parties’ insurance representatives set to attend the proposed April 5, 

2018 mediation will travel to San Francisco from out of state.

5. A settlement by any of the remaining seven subcontractors in the Underlying 

Action may impact the dispute between Travelers and Ryan Associates in this action.

6. Travelers and Ryan Associates agree that a continuance of the Initial Case 

Management Conference would facilitate possible settlement and resolution of some or all of the 

Underlying Action, and perhaps resolve the issues in this action.

7. Travelers and Ryan Associates further agree that they will suffer no prejudice if the 

Initial Case Management Conference is continued. However, Ryan Associates will suffer 

prejudice if the continuance is denied because a critical opportunity to settle the Underlying Action 

will be missed.

8. If counsel for Ryan Associates must forego the mediation proceedings in the 

Underlying Action to attend the Case Management Conference, the mediation will likely be 

cancelled. 

9. Accordingly, Travelers and Ryan Associates agree and request that the April 5, 

2018 Initial Case Management Conference be continued to April 26, 2018, with Travelers and 

Ryan Associates to complete their Initial Disclosures and file their Case Management Statement

Conference date.

10. If the proposed April 26, 2018 date is inconvenient or unacceptable for any reason, 

Travelers and Ryan Associates request that the Court set a different date for the Initial Case 

Management Conference.
