ORDER SETTING CASE MANAGEMENT 

DATES THROUGH TRIAL

Upon stipulation by the Parties, the Court adopted a two-phase briefing schedule for the 

parties’ motions for summary judgment. (Doc. 79). The first phase involved summary judgment 

motions addressing only the question of whether Defendant Kinsale Insurance Company 

(“Kinsale”) has a duty to defend the real parties in interest in a state court suit captioned TRC 

Operating Co. v. Chevron, Kern County, Case No. S-1500-CV-282520 DRL (the “Underlying 

Lawsuit”) (“Phase 1”). See (Docs. 78-1, 79). On June 10, 2024, the Court issued an order 

granting Plaintiffs’ motions for partial summary judgment and denying Kinsale’s motion for 

summary judgment. (Doc. 94). 

The Court found that Kinsale has a duty to defend the real parties in interest. In addition, 

the Court ordered the parties to file a joint report proposing a discovery and briefing schedule for 

motions addressing any disputes over allocation issues as well as any motion filed by Defendant
