Case No.: C 05-5208 RMW (PVT)

ORDER RE STAY OF PENDING DISCOVERY

MOTIONS

On March 31, 2006, District Judge Whyte issued an order staying this action. Although the

order requires the parties to comply with any outstanding discovery orders, it does not make any

exception to the stay for pending arbitration-related discovery motions. From the fact both sides

have continued to file discovery motions regarding the arbitration discovery pursuant to California

Insurance Code Section 11580.2, it appears both parties believed the stay would not affect discovery

motions filed in connection with the UIM arbitration proceedings. However, absent a modification

of the District Court’s order staying this action, all such motions are currently deemed stayed. If the

parties wish to proceed with the pending discovery motions, they must seek modification of the

District Court’s order staying the case.
