ORDER
The parties stipulate (Doc. 14) to bifurcation of the plaintiffs' bad faith claim and claim for damages arising from an automobile accident with an under-insured motorist. See Amerisure Ins. Co. v. Albanese Popkin The Oaks Dev. Grp., L.P., 2010 WL 1856263, *2 (S.D. Fla. 2010) (finding premature a bad faith claim before a determination as to either coverage, liability, or damages). Under Rules 13(i) and 42(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the stipulation (Doc. 14) is APPROVED. The bad faith claim is stayed pending a determination of the plaintiffs' damages and the defendant's liability.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on October 13, 2010.
