subpoenas: 

Health Information Management 

551 Shanley Court 

Bakersfield, CA 93311 

(661) 632-51768 

3. As to each of the subpoenas, Plaintiffs object to the production of records and contend that 

none of the records are relevant to the pending claims in this action. 

4. State Farm submits that the Plaintiffs have put these records at issue, in that the requested 

records may be relevant to Plaintiffs’ claims of emotional distress, and may support 

alternate causation or contributing factors, other than the claim handling of State Farm, as 

the source of Plaintiffs’ emotional distress, if any. 

 5. Plaintiffs have proposed that the foregoing records, to the extent they have not already 

been produced, be produced directly to the Court for in camera review. Defendants have 

agreed, provided the Court is amenable to conducting the review. At this time, the parties 

do not know the volume of documents responsive to the foregoing subpoenas.
