PLAINTIFFS’ NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR REVIEW OF
MAGISTRATE JUDGE BLOCK’S MARCH 20, 2012 DISCOVERY ORDER

TO THE COURT, DEFENDANT, AND ALL COUNSEL OF RECORD:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on May 7, 2012, or on such other date as the
matter may be heard, in Courtroom 10C, located at 411 West Fourth Street, Santa
Ana, California, 92701, Plaintiffs Joyce Walker, Muriel Lynn Spooner, and Kim
Bruce Howlett (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) will, and hereby do, move the Court for
an order reversing the Magistrate Judge’s March 20, 2012 discovery order and
compelling the further production of documents and deposition testimony by
defendant Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (“Defendant” or “LSW’’).
Specifically, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court enter an order
reversing the Magistrate Judge’s March 20, 2012 discovery order with respect to
Document Request Nos. 74-80, 95-96, 98-100, and 111-112 and Deposition Topic
Nos. 6, 11, 28-29, 32-33, 36, and 38, and compelling LSW (1) to produce
documents responsive to Document Request Nos. 74-80, 95-96, 98-100, and 111-
112; and (2) to provide deposition testimony responsive to Deposition Topic Nos.
6, 11, 28-29, 32-33, 36, and 38. This motion is made on the grounds that the
Magistrate Judge’s March 20, 2012 discovery order was clearly erroneous and
contrary to law because the above-described document requests and deposition
topics are relevant to Plaintiffs’ claims and/or LSW’s defenses.
