UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

THE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF

NEW YORK,,

NO. CIV. S 04-1166 MCE GGH

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

FOOD SERVICE INSURANCE

MANAGERS, DWIGHT HALVORSON

INSURANCE SERVICES, INC. and

DWIGHT HALVORSON,

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

Through the present motion, Defendant Food Service Insurance

Managers, Inc. (“FSIM”) asks the court to modify its Pretrial

Scheduling Order to permit additional time for non-expert

discovery. According to FSIM, discovery obtained just prior to

the currently set June 23, 2005 deadline revealed additional

claimed damages as well as the existence of additional documents

that had not been previously produced.

Because oral argument would not be of material assistance, 1

this matter was deemed suitable for decision without oral

argument. E.D. Local Rule 78-230(h).

2

FSIM also contends that allowing additional discovery will

facilitate the prospects for settlement.

FSIM’s motion is unopposed. In its Statement of NonOpposition, Plaintiff The Insurance Corporation of New York

(“INSCORP”) concedes that discovery undertaken just before the

current discovery deadline revealed documents not produced, but

requested, in prior discovery proceedings. INSCORP also agrees

that extending the dates set forth in the existing Pretrial

Scheduling Order will be helpful in facilitating settlement,

including potential mediation of the case.

Given the above, and good cause having been shown, the

schedule set forth in the Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order will

be modified and FSIM’s Motion is GRANTED. The non-expert 1

witness discovery deadline is extended to January 20, 2006. 

Other pretrial deadlines, including the deadline for expert

witness disclosure, are also extended and will be set forth

within a forthcoming amended Pretrial Scheduling Order.
