IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CAROLINA CASUALTY INSURANCE CASE NO. CV F 08-0691 LJO SMS

COMPANY,

ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO 

Plaintiff, RESOLVE REMAINING CLAIMS

vs. OR PROCEED TO TRIAL

ELIZABETH S. ORTIZ, et al, 

Defendants.

 /

and related counter-claims

__________________________________/

Following this Court’s order granting plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment, the Court

asked the parties to file status reports on the status of the remaining claims in this action. On January

28, 2010, the parties filed status reports which state, in substance, they agree that the ruling “defeats the

remaining counts and claims” and the trial date should be vacated. The parties, however, did not submit

a stipulation for dismissal of the claims or otherwise resolve the claims. The parties submitted a

proposed judgment, but the judgment does not dispose of the entire case and all claims. The Court has

not ruled on the remaining claims, and therefore, cannot dismiss the claims.

Accordingly, this Court orders the parties to file, within ten days of the service of this Order,

either:

1. A stipulation resolving the remaining claims; or

2. A status report stating they cannot agree on the remaining claims, and confirming the

trial date of April 7, 2010.

Further, the parties have asked that the Court “state” who is the “prevailing party” in this matter. 

The Court will not make a statement of who is or who is not the "prevailing party," unless and until the

appropriate motion is filed that would require the Court to make such a finding.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
