JOINT STATUS REPORT AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

THE HONORABLE JAMES L. ROBART UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Defendants Carolyn and Benjamin Lange and plaintiffs Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Liberty Insurance Corporation hereby submit a Joint Status Report as required by the Court's May 19, 2021 Order, Dkt. 33.

The Court's November 17, 2020 Order. Dkt. 31, provided that this action is stayed until the underlying action, C.L. v. Carolyn Lange and Benjamin Lange, Cause No. 17-2-02207-37 (“the underlying action”), is concluded. The underlying action is ongoing. Trial, previously scheduled for July 2021, was continued due to the ongoing effects of Covid-19 on court operations and the limited availability of the judge scheduled to preside. The parties to the underlying action are working with Whatcom County Superior Court to reschedule the trial date.

The Parties to this matter propose that they file another Joint Status Report by January 19, 2022.

ORDER

The Court, having reviewed the Parties' August 31, 2021 Joint Status Report, directs them to file another Joint Status Report by January 19, 2022.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
