UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MERCEDES ALVAREZ, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FARMERS INSURANCE EXCHANGE,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-00574-WHO 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS 

MOTION TO MODIFY SCHEDULING 

ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 73

Given the serious medical condition of one of plaintiff’s counsel and the deficiencies in the 

production by defendant of discovery ordered by the Court during the hearing on January 9, 2015, 

I GRANT plaintiffs’ request for a continuance of the trial and associated dates. If I was not clear 

before, I was unhappy at the last hearing with defendant’s failure to have produced documents it 

conceded at the hearing should have been produced. I am not happy now that problems seem to 

have continued, necessitating this lengthy continuance. The parties are referred to the Guidelines 

for Professional Conduct on the Northern District’s website. If further disputes are brought to me 

because of substandard production or other lack of non-compliance with my prior orders or the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, there will be consequences. I do not anticipate changing the 

motion or trial date again. 

The new schedule is:
