IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JACOB WINDING,

Plaintiff, No. CIV-S-09-3526-KJM-KJN-PS

v.

ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY,

et al.,

Defendants.

________________________________/

AND RELATED COUNTER-CLAIM ORDER

 /

On November 1, 2011, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

(ECF No. 105), which were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections

to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. On November 15,

2011, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations (ECF No. 109), and on

December 2, 2011, defendant Allstate filed a response to plaintiff’s objections (ECF No. 110),

all of which have been considered by the court. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule

304, this court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the file,

the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the

proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations filed November 1, 2011, are ADOPTED,

with the exception of pages 17, line 15 through 20, line 13, as this court need not reach the issues

covered by those pages for the reasons set forth in the Findings and Recommendations

themselves.

2. Defendant Allstate Insurance Company’s Alternative Motion for Partial

Summary Judgment/Summary Adjudication addressed to plaintiff’s claims against it (ECF

No. 60) is granted in part and denied in part. Specifically, it is ordered that defendant Allstate

Insurance Company is granted summary judgment as to plaintiff’s claim for insurance bad faith

and the corresponding request for punitive damages, but that the motion for summary judgment

is denied in all other respects.

3. Defendant Allstate Insurance Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment

addressed to its counter-claim (ECF No. 59) is denied. 

DATED: March 7, 2012.
