DAVID W. CHRISTEL CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The parties have conferred and agree that it is in the best interests of all parties, and for the efficiency of the Court, to hear all summary judgment motions pertaining to any duty to defend Walsh Construction Company II, LLC (“Walsh”) in the underlying King County v.

This would include the summary judgment motions currently filed by Plaintiff (Dkt. #32) and Arch Specialty Insurance Company (“Arch”) (Dkt. # 36) as well as the motions for partial summary judgment related to the duty to defend that Walsh and Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”) intend to file. The Court re-noted Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 38) to be heard at the same time as Arch's motion, and all parties agree to this stipulation re-noting those motions and setting a schedule for motions that Walsh and Greenwich intend to file follows LCR 7 (d).
The parties propose that the noting date for Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. # 32) regarding duty to defend as well as Arch's Motion (Dkt. # 36) shall be Friday, July 14, 2023, and that any motions of Walsh and Greenwich related to the duty to defend Walsh will be filed in accordance with the time requirements of LCR 7 (d) to be noted for July 14, 2023.
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion (Dkt. # 32) and Arch's Motion (Dkt. # 36) as well as all motions relating to duty to defend be noted simultaneously on Friday, July 14, 2023
