JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION AS RECEIVER FOR PACIFIC STATE BANK'S MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF PROGRESSIVE CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PRODUCE ESI AND TO COMPLY WITH THE ESI ORDER AND TO EXTEND SCHEDULING ORDER DATES

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

Now come Plaintiff Progressive Casualty Insurance Company ("Progressive"), Defendant Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for Pacific State Bank ("FDIC-R"), and Defendants Michael L. Dalton, Harold Hand, Kathleen M. Verner, Patricia A. Hatton, Maxwell M. Freeman, Yoshikazu Mataga, George M. Schofield, Rick Simas, Gary A. Stewart, Russell Munson, Steven Kikuchi, Steve Rosso, Justin Garner, Laura Maffei, and Linda Ogato (the "Ds & Os" and together with Progressive and FDIC-R, the "Parties"), by and through their undersigned counsel, and hereby stipulate as follows:

On May 14, 2014, FDIC-R filed a Motion to Compel Plaintiff Progressive Casualty Insurance Company to Produce ESI and to Comply with the ESI Order. (Docket Entry ("DE") 109). As a result of subsequent discussions between Progressive and FDIC-R and subsequent developments in other matters involving similar issues, the Parties stipulate as follows:

1. Progressive shall have until June 2, 2014, to produce the 565,000 "hit" documents culled from the use of the search terms in this and four other cases1 to FDIC-R subject to the clawback provisions of Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 26(b)(5)(B), Fed. R. Evid. 502(d), and the Court's existing ESI protocol.

2. Progressive may apply privilege filters to the 565,000 documents and withhold documents identified as more likely privileged as a result of application of privilege filters. However, Progressive shall serve FDIC-R with a privileged document log which fully complies with Rule 26(b)(5)(A) for any documents withheld or redacted on the basis of privilege. Progressive shall produce the first privilege log for one-third of the total documents withheld or redacted by June 19, 2014, the second privilege log by July 17, 2014, and the final privilege log by August 14, 2014.

3. FDIC-R withdraws its Motion to Compel Plaintiff Progressive Casualty Insurance Company to Produce ESI and to Comply with the ESI Order (DE 109) without prejudice to FDIC-R's right to raise any issues regarding the sufficiency of Progressive's production or its compliance with this Stipulation.2

4. The Amended Scheduling Order (DE 108) provides that the schedule may be modified upon a showing of "good cause." Good cause exists in order to allow adequate time to complete the ESI review and production as set forth above and other discovery. The Parties therefore stipulate to the following modification of the current schedule:

Item Current Deadline Proposed Extension Close of Fact Discovery June 12, 2014 September 30, 2014 Expert Disclosures August 12, 2014 September 30, 2014 Rebuttal Expert Disclosures September 9, 2014 October 28, 2014 Dispositive Motions Hearing December 24, 2014 January 15, 2015

The parties propose no change to the remaining deadlines, including the pretrial deadlines and trial date.

5. The parties respectfully request that the Court enter an order to this effect.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.

FootNotes


1. The other four cases are Progressive Cas. Ins. Co. v. FDIC as Receiver for Omni National Bank, No. 1:12-cv-01103-RLV (N.D. Ga.); Progressive Cas. Ins. Co. v. FDIC as Receiver for Vantus Bank, No. 5:12-cv-04041-DEO (N.D. Iowa); Progressive Cas. Ins. Co. v. Delaney, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00678-LRH-PAL (D. Nev.) (involving FDIC as Receiver for Sun West Bank); and Progressive Cas. Ins. Co. v. FDIC as Receiver for Silver State Bank, No. 2:12-cv-00665-RLH-PAL (D. Nev.).
2. Progressive's amenability to this stipulation is due to a recent order entered by the court in the action captioned Progressive Casualty Insurance Co. v. Delaney, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00678-LRH-PAL (D. Nev.) (attached as Exhibit 1), addressing Progressive's review and production of ESI in that matter.
