STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN PATIENTS UNDERLYING ALLSTATE'S CAUSES OF ACTION
Defendants and Counterclaimant Russell J. Shah, M.D., Dipti R. Shah M.D., Russell J. Shah, MD, Ltd., Dipti R. Shah, MD, Ltd., and Radar Medical Group, LLP d/b/a University Urgent Care (collectively, the “Radar Parties”) and Plaintiffs/Counter defendants Allstate Insurance Company, Allstate Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Allstate Indemnity Company, and Allstate Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (collectively, the “Allstate Parties”), by and through their respective attorneys of record, stipulate and agree as follows:
1. On July 17, 2023, the Court entered its Order [ECF No. 583] granting in part the Radar Parties' Motion for Summary Judgment on Allstate's Causes of Action in its First Amended Complaint [ECF Nos. 460/461]. The Court directed the parties to confer regarding which of the remaining 197 patients underlying Allstate's causes of action are subject to dismissal in accordance with the Court's Order and, upon doing so, prepare and file: (i) A stipulation and proposed order identifying those patients for whom the parties agree are subject to dismissal (the “Stipulation”); and (ii) a joint status report identifying those patients for whom the parties disagree are subject to dismissal, together with the parties' respective positions (the “Joint Status Report”).
Allstate voluntarily dismissed 16 patients underlying its causes of action prior to the close of discovery.
2. Since then, the parties conferred and agreed that, pursuant to the Court's Order, Allstate's causes of action are dismissed as to 91 patients who are identified by numbers, first and last initials, and claim numbers in Exhibit “A” attached to this Stipulation.
3. Following the meet and confer process, the parties agreed that 91 patients who are identified by numbers, first and last initials, and claim numbers in Exhibit “B” attached to this Stipulation are not subject to dismissal pursuant to the Court's Order.
4. Despite their best efforts, the parties could not agree whether 15 patients who are identified by numbers, first and last initials, and claim numbers in Exhibit “C” attached to this Stipulation are subject to dismissal pursuant to the Court's Order. As a result, the parties are filing a Joint Status Report identifying those patients for whom the parties disagree are subject to dismissal, together with the parties' respective positions.
5. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed as a waiver of any party's appellate rights with respect to the Court's Order. Subject to pre-trial rulings of the Court, the Allstate Parties reserve the right to use portions of the dismissed claims as evidence in trial; and the Radar Parties reserve the right to move to exclude such evidence from being admitted at trial.
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
ORDER
Based on the above Stipulation, and pursuant to the Court's July 17, 2023 Order [ECF No. 583] granting in part the Radar Parties' Motion for Summary Judgment on Allstate's Causes of Action in its First Amended Complaint [ECF Nos. 460/461], and good cause appearing, IT IS ORDERED that summary judgment is entered in favor of the Radar Parties against Allstate with respect to the 91 patients underlying Allstate's causes of action in its First Amended Complaint who are identified in Exhibit “A” attached to this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
