UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY LUNA,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 07cv0999 DMS CAB

 

ORDER REQUESTING

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

[Doc. 24]

vs.

SEARS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, A

Corporation; DOES 1-20,

Defendant.

Pending before the Court is Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The Court heard oral

argument on November 9, 2007. Gordon Churchill and Raul Cadena appeared on behalf of Plaintiff;

and Peter Klee and Seth Friedman appeared on behalf of Defendant. Thereafter, Plaintiff requested

leave to file a supplemental opposition, and Defendant opposed the request (Doc. 24).

The Court requests supplemental briefing on the following issues: (1) On what date was

Defendant first aware of (a) Plaintiff’s identity, and (b) that Plaintiff was a beneficiary under the

Policy? (2) When, if ever, did Plaintiff complete a Claim Form? (3) Assuming Defendant could not

have acted in bad faith without knowing Plaintiff’s identity as a beneficiary, is summary judgment

appropriate on the issue of whether Defendant acted in bad faith between the time it became aware

Plaintiff was a beneficiary and the date of payment of benefits to Plaintiff?
