UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH WARKENTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

FEDERATED LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:10-cv-00221-SAB

ORDER SETTING STATUS CONFERENCE

On December 2, 2014, the Ninth Circuit issued its memorandum decision remanding this 

action to this Court and directing the Court to address three issues: 1) whether the Court should 

exercise its discretion as to whether Plaintiff Keith Warkentin (“Plaintiff”) established excusable 

neglect for the late-filed opposition to Defendant Federated Life Insurance Company’s 

(“Defendant”) motion for summary judgment, 2) whether the Court should exercise its discretion 

as to whether Defendant’s proposed undisputed facts should be deemed admitted or instead take 

other action, such as allowing the entry of the late-submitted factual material while providing 

Defendant with time to respond, and 3) whether Defendant is entitled to summary judgment on 

its rescission claim.

In accordance with the Ninth Circuit’s decision, the Court will set a status conference to 

establish a briefing schedule for the parties to submit arguments on those three issues.
