Defendants.

CASE NO. 2:14-CV-01479-MCE-AC

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO RESCHEDULE 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE 

Judge: Hon. Carolyn K. Delaney

Complaint filed: June 20, 2014

This Stipulation is entered into by and between Plaintiff, LEVIN ENTERPRISES, INC. 

("LEVIN") and Defendants ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY (“Zurich 

American”) as successor in interest to MAINE BONDING & CASUALTY COMPANY, which 

Zurich American contends was erroneously sued as “MARYLAND CASUALTY COMPANY as 

successor in interest to Maine Bonding & Casualty Company; MAINE BONDING & 

CASUALTY COMPANY”; and GRANITE STATE INSURANCE COMPANY ("GRANITE"). 

RECITALS

1. On April 2, 2015, the parties mediated the matter before Mr. Craig Meredith of 

JAMS. While the parties were not able to resolve the case at that time, they agreed to a further 

exchange of information and documents to assist in a good faith attempt to settlement the matter.

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO RESCHEDULE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

2. The parties, however, are still in the process of exchanging information and 

documents and will not complete their review before the April 28, 2015 Settlement Conference. 

Thus, the parties cannot engage in meaningful settlement discussions at the currently scheduled 

April 28, 2015 Settlement Conference. 

3. Based on LEVIN’s counsel’s discussion with Mr. Kyle Owen, Judge Delaney’s 

Courtroom Deputy, the Settlement Conference may be rescheduled to August 14, 2015. This date

will give the parties sufficient time to complete their exchange and review of documents and 

engage in further settlement discussions. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED:

5. Pursuant to Local Rules 143 and 144(a), the Settlement Conference currently 

scheduled for April 28, 2015 will be rescheduled to August 14, 2015.
