Opinion
Civil Action No. 12-996
11-13-2012
JOSEPH MOROSKY, Plaintiff, v. ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
Judge Cathy Bissoon
ORDER
Defendant's Motion (Doc. 17) to sever Plaintiff's bad faith claims is DENIED, for essentially the same reasons as stated in Consugar v. Nationwide Ins. Co. of Amer., 2011 WL 2360208, *6-7 & n.1 (M.D. Pa. Jun. 9, 2011). Defendant's Motion (Doc. 16) for a protective order also is DENIED, although, as Plaintiff agrees, the deadline for Defendant's responses to written discovery is established by reference to the parties' Rule 26(f) conference, not the date that the discovery requests were served. See Pl.'s Opp'n Br. (Doc. 21) at ¶ 6.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
