- ilnd;;1:11-cv-02352_de221 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER Signed by the Honorable Sheila M. Finnegan on 9/1/2015: Horace Manns motion to sever remaining Lexington issues for early trial; to schedule and limit motions; and to set date for pretrial conference 191 is denied. The parties agreed in their joint discovery plan (approved by the district judge on 1/12/2012) that summary judgment and Daubert motions would be filed 30 days after the close of expert discovery. (Doc. 43-1). On 10/31/2013, the district judge granted Lexingtons motion (over Horace Manns objection) to modify the schedule, allowing summary judgment motions to be filed 30 days after a ruling on Daubert motions. (Doc. 162). In the motion, Lexington specifically discussed its intention to seek summary judgment on Horace Manns counterclaim of vexatious and unreasonable delay of payment and provided reasons why it would be more efficient to do so after first obtaining a ruling on the Daubert motion to bar testimony from Horace Manns expert on this issue. (Doc. 159, at 3) (Threshold rulings regarding the admissibility of expert opinion testimony will set the stage for the parties dispositive motions and provide guidance on whether the parties can present expert opinion testimony in support thereof. Such sequencing, in Lexingtons view, will be more efficient for both the parties and the Court.). More than a year after the Court granted Lexingtons motion and put the current schedule in place, Horace Mann filed the instant motion asking the Court to change course and preclude Lexington from filing any summary judgment motion on the counterclaim and to proceed to trial without ruling on any Daubert challenges (these would be decided during the trial). This Court is not persuaded that it would be efficient or fair to deviate at this late date from the schedule that the district judge put in place in October 2013. As for Horace Manns request to sever the Lexington case from the Aon case, this request is also denied since there appear to be many overlapping witnesses, and conducting two trials rather than one would not save judicial time. Finally, the request to set a pretrial conference to discuss the issues raised in the motion is denied as moot. Mailed Notice.(gcy, ) (Entered: 09/02/2015)" @default.
