Parties’ Joint Proposalto the Court Regarding Scheduling Order – Page 2

Specialty Insurance Co. (“USSIC” or together with the Plaintiffs and Formentera, the “Parties”),

by and through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby jointly file this Proposal to the Court 

regarding a scheduling order in the above-styled adversary proceeding (the “AP”) and state as 

follows:

1. On March 9, 2022, the above-captioned debtors each filed a voluntary petition for 

relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq. in the Court.

2. On May 5, 2023, the Plaintiffs filed the Complaint and Request for Declaratory 

Judgment and Enforcement of Certain Provisions of Confirmed Plan (Doc. 1) (the “Complaint”) 

against Formentera and USSIC seeking a declaratory judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a). 

3. On May 8, 2023, the Court issued the Order Regarding Adversary Proceedings 

Trial Setting and Alternative Scheduling Order (Doc. 6) (the “Preliminary Scheduling Order”). 

4. On June 14, 2023, Formentera filed the Defendant Formentera Partners Fund I, 

LP’s Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 12) (the “Formentera Motion to Dismiss”) requesting 

the Court to dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims against Formentera. 

5. Pursuant to N.D. Tex. L.B.R. 7007-1(e), the Plaintiffs have until July 5, 2023 to file 

a response to the Formentera Motion to Dismiss. 

6. USSIC has until July 17, 2023 to file an answer or other response to the Complaint. 

(See Doc. 11). 

7. On June 15, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Preliminary Scheduling 

Order, counsel for the Parties conferred with each other to consider, among other things, a 

proposed scheduling order. During the conference, counsel for all Parties agreed that it would be 

premature to develop a detailed discovery plan and scheduling order in light of the pending 

Case 23-09003-mxm Doc 23 Filed 06/20/23 Entered 06/20/23 10:43:19 Desc Main

jointly propose a scheduling order, if necessary, within ten (10) days following the Court’s final 

disposition of any motions to dismiss filed by Formentera and USSIC in the AP. 

Respectfully submitted this the 20th day of June, 2023.
