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. /I/ III III III HII HII HII
