ORDER RE: DEFENDANT STATE
FARM GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OR, IN THE
ALTERNATIVE, SUMMARY ADJUDICATION OF ISSUES |
||
The motion for summary judgment or, in the
alternative, summary adjudication of issues brought by Defendant State Farm General
Insurance Company (“Defendant”) is continued as set forth below.
The parties have interposed more than 65 evidentiary objections. Due to the voluminous number of objections, the hearing on the
motion will be continued to a date that will be set at the Hearing on
Objections discussed below.
The
Court orders the parties to meet and confer by telephone or in person in a
serious and good faith effort to resolve and eliminate the objections. The only
objections that should remain are those that pertain to material evidence regarding material issues. Keeping the rules of evidence in mind, the
parties should be able to reduce the objections to just a few. If any material objections remain
unresolved, the parties are to set them forth in a joint statement with the
text, the objection, and the argument of each side in favor of their respective
positions regarding the remaining material objections, along with a space for a
ruling.
The joint statement must be filed on or before _______ with
a courtesy copy delivered to Department 50. The Court will review
any remaining objections with the parties at a hearing on _______________ at 2:00 p.m. (the “Hearing on Objections”). The date
for the hearing on the motion will be set at the Hearing on Objections.
If necessary, based upon the resolutions
reached during the meet and confer process and/or at the Hearing on Objections,
the parties may respectively file and serve revised briefing and evidence. The
revised evidence may eliminate objectionable material; however, no new evidence or new argument is to be
submitted unless it is as a result of compromises reached during the meet and
confer process. In the event that revised briefing and evidence is necessary,
the Court will discuss with the parties a briefing schedule for the revised
briefing at the Hearing on Objections.
Defendant is ordered to give notice of this
Order.
