INSTRUCTIONS 0N HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET


To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must
complete and file, along with your first paper, the C/.v/./ Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1. This information w"I be used to compile
statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check
one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits both a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1,
check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action.
To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover
sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party,
its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.

To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1 ) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.

To Parties in Complex Cases.

In complex cases only, parties must also use the Ci.vt./ Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the

case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiffs designation, a counterdesignation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that
the case is complex.

INTRODUCTION
1. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are USC students who fell victim to a classic bait-

and-switch. The students leased expensive housing, conveniently located within


walking distance of USC's campus, several months in advance of the 2016-17

academic year. The students knew that the leases they signed had one important

caveat: the ELEMENT-the property that the students had signed up to live

in-was under construction.


2. The defendants in this lawsuit are real estate companies that capitalize on the

tight market for student housing at USC. Knowing that construction of the
ELEMENT would not be complete in time to house students at the beginning of
the fall term, the defendants nevertheless concealed this fact from the students.
Meanwhile, Defendants continued to market available units via social media.

3. After it became public-two weeks before the students expected to move inthat no end to the construction was in sight, Defendants made the students a
series of empty promises, failed to provide them adequate replacement housing,

and acted oppressively and in bad faith. Nearly four months of the students' lease

had elapsed before the owners of the ELEMENT gave them permission to move
in.

4. The affected students, including the Plaintiffs, were marooned in overcrowded


quarters at the Da Vinci apartment complex in Bunker Hill, nearly five miles

away from campus. During peak rush hour, it often took them 45 minutes or
more to commute to or from campus. Defendants refuse to compensate the

students for being displaced from the USC community, nor did Defendants
adequately mitigate the harm they caused. The students demand compensation
for having suffered academically as a result.

A.

STUHO Entiees plainti_i is Ilo sign Leases ln The un_finished ELEMENT


16. Housing, and especially housing in close proximity to campus, is a scarce and

highly valuable commodity for USC students.


17.Because housing near USC is so scarce, Defendant STUHO encouraged USC
students, via an aggressive and effective marketing campaign, to sign leases

committing them to live in the ELEMENT-a yet-to-be-completed apartment


complex planned for the intersection of Hoover Street and Adams Boulevard in

South Los Angeles-well in advance of the fall semester.


18.Nine months before he would begin his senior year, Plaintiff CONNOR

MCGLYNN ("Connor") thought he had solved his searcb for housing. In or

about November 2015, he came across advertisements for the ELEMENT,


which is within walking distance from USC's campus.

19. Connor got in touch with a representative of the property manager, STUHO,
and found that the planned property met his needs. He was initially concerned

about whether the property would be ready to move in to on time, but STUHO
representatives assuaged his fears. They assured him that the project would be
completed before the beginning of classes. Still concerned, he asked what would

happen if construction faced unforeseen delays. STUHO representatives again

assured him that the property would be ready on time, but told him that in the

COMPIAINI
4

ZEE

unlikely event the property was not ready in time, residents would be temporarily
housed in a "hotel on campus." As a result of these assurances, Connor signed a
lease.

20.Each unit at the EIEMENT was advertised as a three-bedroom apartment


designed to accommodate six students, two per bedroom, with an extra-long

twin bed and desk provided for each student, along with furnishings for the
common areas.

21.After signing his lease, Connor began searching for other students to fill the

apartment. Six months before the lease was set to begin, Connor had filled the

apartment. Two of his would-be roommates were Plaintiffs ALEC H. PHIILIPS


("Alec") and KIERAN STOLORZ ("FGeran"). Alec and Kieran signed leases in
February, 2016 .

22.Each individual student expected to pay approximately $884 each, per month,

for the right to share a three-bedroom apartment with five other students. Tbe
total rental cost for the Plaintiffs' three-bedroom apartment was $5,304.00 per

month.

8. TevovIeeks Bet;ore_School Starts. The First Inkling Of A Problerii.


23. On or about July 14, 2016, little more than two weeks before Plaintiffi expected

to move into their quarters, the would-be tenants of the ELEMENT received
notices that the building was no longer expected to be finished on time for the
beginning of school.

24.STUHO gave some students the option of canceling their lease and finding
replacement housing. The initially-named plaintiffs in this suit received no such
option. Even if these plaintiffs had received such an option, it is unlikely that they

would have been able to find alternate housing in such a short time frame.

25. Few+if any-f the students who were offered an option to cancel actually did
so, because STUHO continued to misrepresent the completion date of the

COMPIAINI
5

ZEE

EL@

project. Because most students were out of I.os Angeles for the summer, they

were unable to drive by the property to verify STUHO's claim that construction

was nearly complete. Had they visited the property, they might have known

immediately that construction was nowhere near done. STUHO, nevertheless,


continued to placate the students with false promises.

26. Even if the students had known, as of July 14, 2016, that the construction delays

were not minimal, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for the affected

students to find alternative housing in the tight market at the last minute.
27.Most, if not all students, ultimately chose to put up with the delays because of

STUHO's continued representations that construction would be complete


imminently.

C.

A T:Iineline of Emt>tw promises

28.On or about July 14, 2016, in its initial notice to students that the property

would not be ready, STUHO-who shares common ownership with, and is the

alter ego of HOOVER -ADAMS HOLDING ILC ("HAH"), the developertold students that "the developer of the Element... informed us that the timeline

for the Element's launch has unfortunately been pushed back to between
"September lst 2016 to September 30th 2016. However, the developer has

informed us that they have secured alternative, toprof-the-line housing for you
that is approximately 4 miles away from campus. They know what an
inconvenience this for you [sic.], and as such, will be discounting your rent by

20% for the entire Fall semester (through December 2016), as well as providing
a dedicated shuttle service to and from campus."

29.The email went on to describe the features and benefits of the students'

temporary quarters, "luxury" apartments known as "the Davinci."

30. This email had the unfortunate effect of reassuring students that a small amount

of patience on their part would be rewarded, and that they should not look for

COMPIJAINI
6

EiE

EiH

alternative housing to mitigate the damages they expected to suffer from being
displaced.

31. As the month of September came to an end, students began to pressure STUHO
for an update. On September 22, 2016, HAH sent the students an update

through its agents at STUHO, apologizing for the construction delays, blaming
them on "scheduling and timing issues for inspections with the city, county, and
safety authorities. "

32.In the same email dated September 22, 2016, IIAH assured students that they
would just have to wait one more month. "You will be able to move in starting

the week of October 24th, 2016. As a reminder, please remember that the last
day at the Da Vinci will be October 31st, 2016; accordingly, please arrange to

move out on or before that date."


33.In the same email dated September 22, 2016, for the first time, HAH offered
affected students the option to cancel their lease.

34. "Due to the unanticipated delays," HAH wrote, "we are offering the following
two options to you:"

35.The

first

option

offered

by

HAH:

"You

can

stay

at

the

temporary

accommodations at the Da Vinci until October 3lst, 2016; this will provide

flexibility for you to schedule your move at your convenience during the week of
October 24th, 2016. To help ease the transition we will have utilities set up for

your unit at Element and will pay for your utilities for the remainder of the Fall
2016 semester. You will not need to sign any paperwork in order to exercise this

option.

36.The second option offered by HAH: "You can choose to be released from your
lease obligations effective as of October 31st, 2016 (as set forth in the link below

which contains the Termination Agreement), and be free to make your own
housing arrangements elsewhere .... Should you choose to be released from your

COMPI.AINI
7

lil

EiE

lease obligations, please sign and return the attached Termination Agreement on

or before Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 5 p.in."1

37.In short, HAH promised students, in no uncertain terms, that they would be

able to move in on October 24th, and offered them inducements to continue

their tenancy. Alternatively, HAH told students they could exit their leases at the

end of October, but that they would have only one week to find alternative

housing on their own.

38.The first three weeks of October came and went without any word from the

ELEMENT's developer or its management about a move-in date. The students,

10

assuming that they would be moving in between October 24-31, made

11

arrangements and plans to accommodate a move during that week.

12

39.On October 21, 2016, the students received an update: "all of the interiors of

13

buildings 1 and 2 are now fully complete, furniture has been installed and is

14

ready to go, and the apartments will be given a sparkle clean next Wednesday,

15

October 2lst, 2016. ''2

16

40. No move-in date was given. The only hint of progress was this statement: "At this

17

point, all they are waiting for is for the city to issue their certificate occupancy

18

[sic.] so that they can finally move you in. As this is unfortunately outside of their

19

control, they do not have a speciflc date to give you just yet, but they are

20

expecting to know when this will be issued by the middle of next week."

21

41.Further, the students were "advise[d] against making travel arrangements so as

22

to avoid having to potentially shift them."

23

42. The middle of next week came and went.

24

43.After pressuring STUHO for anotber update, the students received another

25

email on October 28, 2016, stating that "the developer is almost at the finish

26

line!"

27
28

;FnT#:citsdi:t::ingl;nr::.ina,.

COMP8

r\

EiE

44. In this email, STUHO also stated that HAH "...informed us that the city will be
coming out early next week for the purposes of final inspections that will allow
them to issue the developer that certificate."

45. Early next week came and went.


46.On November 3, 2016, the students received their next update: "We have

received the necessary approvals from the vast majority of agencies having

jurisdiction. With just a couple left to obtain from the city, we are confident that
we will have permission to occupy the building by this coming Wednesday,
November 9th. "

47.The city issued a temporary certificate of occupancy to the owners of the

ELEMENT on November 10, 2016. On information and belief, the students will
be allowed to move in during the week of November 14-18, and they must vacate

their units at the Davinci by November 30.

D.

De_i;endants ' Excuses For The Delays concealed The Truth

48.While Defendants were blaming the bureaucracy of the City of Los Angeles for
its construction delays, Plaintiffs are now informed and believe that the time it

took to build the ELEMENT was not far off from the average amount of time it
can reasonably be expected to build a project like the ELEMENT, and that the
city inspectors responsible for approving the certificate of occupancy were
quickly responsive to requests for inspections.

49. Additionally, Plaintiffs are informed and believe that if there were delays beyond

those expected in the ordinary course of housing construction, they were related

to the Defendant's conscious choices-including their choice to prioritize the


needs of commercial tenants over those of tbe students, and their choice to leave

students without housing alternatives closer to campus so that students would

remain trapped in their leases through the school year. Knowing that Defendants

would be hard-pressed to find tenants to fill the ELEMENT for only the spring

COMPIJAINI
9

EiiE

and summer sessions, which would have cost Defendants upwards of $2 million

in income, Defendants deliberately strung Plaintiffs along, thereby depriving


them, in bad faith, of the negotiated benefits of their lease agreement.
50. Defendants were intentionally and recklessly wrongful, and/or negligent, in

misrepresenting to the students that their housing would be ready for them at the
beginning of the school year, because they knew or should have known that

constructlon could take much longer than anticipated. Further, Defendants


knew or should have known much earlier than July 14, 2016 that the students

would not be able to move in to their units on time. Defendants had notice that
the Plaintiffs, being students, had insufficient connections to the community to

find housing in the short time frame provided by Defendants, were particularly
vulnerable to being injured by the Defendants' breaches of their duties under
contract and tort.

E. Da:n!.afEes Sttffered Bv Plaintiffs


51.Alec, Kieran, and Connor were each attracted to the ELEMENT primarily due
to its location within close proximity of USC. Location of their housing was
crucial in accommodating their packed schedules consisting of coursework, on-

campus

work, athletics, and

extracurricular commitments

to the

USC

community.

52.Alec, pursuing a degree in environmental studies with an ROTC scholarship,

spends most of his days on campus, beginning as early as 6am for his ROTC
physical training exercises. He drives to campus early, because STUIIO's shuttle

service is not available that early in the morning. He then drives back home

through Downtown L.A. during the morning commute to shower and change
before shuttling back to USC for a 10:00 ani class. He spends as much as 12

hours per day on campus.

COMPI.ART
10

Ziil

53. Kieran, a senior Computer Engineering student who also competes in USC's
weightlifting program, is obliged to keep a rigid and consistent training schedule,

and USC's gymnasium has the equipment he needs to meet his physical training
needs. He must also leave before the shuttle begins running to fit his athletics
commitments into his class schedule. Combined with his busy schedule, Kieran's

lack of proximity to campus has made it prohibitively difficult to schedule oncampus interviews for post-college jobs, one of the most important aspects of the
career path of a college senior in the technology field. As a result, Kieran has

fallen behind his peers in his job search and fears that he will not have a good job

after graduation-ven though he is a highly accomplished student in an indemand field.

54. Connor, a dedicated student at USC's Annenberg School for Journalism and

Communication, has a heavy load of campus commitments in addition to his full


load of journalism and writing coursework. He covers the USC football team for
the student press and produces a student-run television show. On a typical day

he arrives at the USC campus at 7:00 am and leaves after midnight.


55. As the months wore on, their senior year slipping away, these students heard little

more than empty promises from STUHO. With no end to construction in sight,
each of these students was taxed past the limits of exhaustion. Their academics

suffered. They were unable to take advantage of many of the campus activities
enjoyed by USC students who are housed close to campus. They signed up for

courses and committed to campus life without expecting that they would be

commuting to school. Now, they demand to be fairly compensated for the


injuries they suffered as a result of STUHO's failure to disclose accurate

constructlon updates to the students in time for them to find alternative housing.
56. Furthermore, as construction delays mounted, Defendants grew increasingly

frugal with the students. Initially, Defendants reimbursed the students for
incidental expenses related to their distant location from campus, such as

COMPll

BIB

parking spots at the Da Vinci and Uber rides after for late trips back home from
campus after the shuttle had stopped running. As the months wore on,
Defendants gave up on placating the students and left them to their own devices.

This placed an added strain on the students financially, many of whom were
living on scholarships and student loans, and had to choose between staying on

campus late and paying for an Uber car that they could not afford, or arriving
home with the last shuttle and missing out on valuable time on campus. Now,
they demand to be fairly compensated for the injuries they suffered as a result of
STUHO's failure to live up to Its contract.

57.Although Defendants have, at long last, been issued a temporary Certiflcate of

Occupancy for the EI.EMENT, construction of the building is ongoing, and is


expected to continue through the academic year. Substantial parts of the

common facilities of the building remain unfinished, including the gymnasium

and swimming pool that were advertised as part of the complex. Therefore,
Plaintiffs also demand to be fairly compensated for the loss of use of these

common areas, in addition to the expected loss of their quiet enjoyment of their

property during construction.

60.Plaintiffs have performed each and every one of their obligations under the

LEASE. All conditions of Defendants' performance under the lease have either
been performed by the Plaintiffs and/or excused by Defendants' failure to

61.STUHO and HAH had a duty "to make every effort to conclude constructlon
and make the Residence rent-ready by the lease start date."3 STUHO and HAH
failed in this aspect of their performance under the LEASE.

62. STUIIO and IIAH had a duty, in the event the ELEMENT was not rent-ready
by August 1, 2016, to provide Plaintiffs "reasonable temporary accommodations

until such time as the Residence is rent-ready." Because the Da vinci apartments
were located in a substantially different location, they did not constltute

"reasonable temporary accommodations." Therefore, STUHO and HAH failed


in this aspect of tbeir performance under the LEASE.

63. STUHO and HAH have a duty under California law to provide Plaintiffs with
quiet enjoyment of their quarters at the ELEMENT. Because construction is
planned to continue throughout the academic year, which will result in
disruptions to the Plaintiffs' academic studies, STUHO and HAH are expected
to fail in this aspect of their performance under the LEASE.
64.As set forth in Paragraphs 51 through 57 of this complaint, Plaintiffs suffered

damages as a proximate result of the breaches of STUHO's and HAH's duties

displacement from the USC neighborhood would be short and insignificant.


Defendants did so deliberately and in bad faith, with a financial motive. In so

doing, Defendants unfairly interfered with each Plaintiff s right to receive the

70. The Defendants named in this cause of action represented to each Plaintiff that

construction of the EIEMENT would be complete, and that the Plaintiffs would
be able to occupy their leased apartment units at the ELEMENT at the
beginning of their lease, August 1, 2016.

71. After that representation proved inaccurate, the Defendants named in this cause
of action made successive representations to each Plaintiff that construction

would be complete, and that the Plaintiffs would be able to occupy their leased

apartment umts, on short order. First, they promised that the students would be
able to move in September, and then in October. Finally, the students were given

permission to move in to the ELEMENT on November 14, 2016.

72.Even if the Defendants believed that construction of the ELEMENT would be


complete in time for the beginning of the lease term and USC's fall term, as
construction delays mounted they had no reasonable grounds for believing the

representation was true. Even up to mid-July, the Defendants continued to

advertise available apartments at the ELEMENT for the fall semester on their
website. Although many students had expressed concern about whether the

project would be completed on time, the Defendants failed to inform their


prospectlve tenants until it was too late for them to find alternative bousing.
73. Based on the track record of the contractor they negligently hired and negligently

failed to supervise for timeliness, the Defendants had no reasonable grounds for
believing that any of these representations were true.

74.On or about July 14, 2016, when the Defendants made a representation to the

students that the ELEMENT would be available to move into sometime in


September, the Defendants had no reasonable grounds for believing that
representation was true.

75. On or about September 22, 2016, when the Defendants made a representation

to the students that the ELEMENT would be available to move into on October
21, 2016, and at the same time offered the students a time-limited option to exit

their leases, the Defendants had no reasonable grounds for believing that
representation was true.

17200. Section 17200 was written broadly in order to allow the courts maximum

discretion to prohibit new scbemes to defraud. The statute provides that unfair
competition includes unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices and
unfair, deceptive, untrue, or misleading advertising.

83.As set forth throughout this complaint, Defendants STUHO and HOOVER -

ADAMS HOIDING IIC made false representations about the progress of


construction of the EI.EMENT and concealed material information about the
timeline for Plaintiffs' move-in to the ELEMENT. These misrepresentations and
concealments convinced Plaintiffs to stay in their leases and forgo seeking

alternative housing.

84. The acts listed in the preceding paragraph and throughout the complaint are all
business practices that are unlawful, unfair, and/or fraudulent under Business

and Professions Code 17200. STUHO, HOOVER -ADAMS HOIDING


LLC, and the interests making up their common ownership, have a custom and
practice of engaging in this behavior not just toward the Plaintiff in this action,

but also towards other USC students seeking housing in the rental market near

TIP SHEET ON MOLD


It is important for Tenants to minimize the potential for conditions that could lead to the growth of naturally occurring
mold. Tenants can help minimize mold growth in their units by taking the following actions:

Open windo\rs on days when the humidity is low. If it's not possible to open windows, run the air conditioner to

circulate fresh air throughout your unit. However, keep windows and doors closed when the outdoor humidity is
high and during damp or rainy \neather conditions.

If possible, maintain a temperature of between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.


clean and dust your unit on a regular basis as required by your lease. Regular vacuuming, mopping and use of
environmenta[ly safe household cleaners is important.

Periodically clean and dry walls and floors around the sink, bathtub, shower, toilets, windo\rs and balcony doors
using a common household disinfecting cleaner.

On a regular basis, wipe do\^rn and dry areas where moisture sometimes accumulates, like countertops, windo\rs
and windowsills.

Use the bathroom fan or alternative ventilation when bathing or showering and allow fan to run until all excess

moisture has vented from the bathroom. If ventilation fans are not present, following the first item of this list is
essential.

Use exhaust fans in kitchen when cooking or while the dish\rasher is running and allows the fan to run until all

excess moisture has vented from the kitchen.

Do not overfill closets or storage areas. Ventilation is important in these spaces.

Do notallowdamp or moiststacks of clothes orother cloth materials to lie in piles.

Immediately report to the management office any evidence of mold growth or musty odors.

Immediately report to the management office any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in your unit or
any common area.

Immediately report to the management office any malfunctions with your heating, ventilation, air-conditioning or
laundry system. Do not block any heating, ventilation or aironditioning ducts in your unit.

- NOTICE OF CASE ASSIGNMENT UNLIMITED CIVIL CASE

Page I of 2

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING UNLIMITED CIVIL CASES

The following critical provisions of the Chapter Three Rules, as applicable in the Central District, are summarized for your assistance.

APPLICATION
The Chapter Three Rules were effective January 1, 1994. They apply to all general civil cases.

PRIORITY OVER 0THHR RULES


The Chapter Three Rules shall have priority over all other Local Rules to the extent the others are inconsistent.

CIIALLENGE TO ASSIGNED JUDGE


A challenge under Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6 must be made within 15 days after notice of assignment for all purposes to a

judge, or if a party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the first appearance.

TIME STANDARDS
Cases assigned to the Individual Calendaring Court will be subject to processing under the following time standards:

COMPLAINTS: All complaints shall be served within 60 days of filing and proof of service shall be filed within 90 days of filing.

CROSS-COMPLAINTS: Without leave of court first being obtained, no crossreomplaint may be filed by any party after their answer is
filed. Cross{omplaints shall be served within 30 days of the filing date and a proof of service filed within 60 days of the filing date.
A Status Conference will be scheduled by the assigned Independent Calendar Judge no later than 270 days after the filing of the complaint.
Counsel must be fully prepared to discuss the following issues: alternative dispute resolution, bifurcation, settlement, trial date, and expert
witnesses,

FINAL STATUS CONFERENCE


The Court will require the parties at a status conference not more than 10 days before the trial to have timely filed and served all motions
in limine, bifurcation motions, statements of major evidentiary issues, dispositive motions, requested jury instructions, and special jury
instructions and special jury verdicts. These matters may be heard and resolved at this conference. At least 5 days before this conference,
counsel must also have exchanged lists of exhibits and witnesses and have submitted to the court a brief statement of the case to be read to
the jury panel as required by Chapter Eight of the Los Angeles Superior Court Rules.

SANCTIONS
The court will impose appropriate sanctions for the failure or refusal to comply with Chapter Three Rules, orders made by the Court, and
time standards or deadlines established by the Court or by the Chapter Three Rules. Such sanctions may be on a party or if appropriate on
counsel for the party.

This is not a complete delineation of the Chapter Three Rules, and adherence only to the above provisions is therefore not a

guarantee against the imposition of sanctions under Trial Court Delay Reduction. Careful rcading and compliance with the
actual Chapter Rules is absolutely imperative.

CASE NUMBER:

STIPULATION -EARLY ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

This stipulation is intended to encourage cooperation among the parties at an early stage in
the lltigation and to assist the parties in efficient case resolution.

The parties agree that:


1. The parties commit to conduct an initial conference (in-person or via teleconference or via
videoconference) within 15 days from the date this stipulation is signed, to di.scuss and consi-der
whether there can be agreement on the following..

a. Are motions to challenge the pleadings necessary? If the issue can be resolved by
amendment as of right, or if the Court would allow leave to amend, could an amended
complaint resolve most or all of the issues a demurrer might otherwise raise? lf so, the parties
agree to work through pleading issues so that a demurrer need only raise issues they cannot
resolve. Is the issue that the defendant seeks to raise amenable to resolution on demurrer, or
would some other type of motion be preferable? Could a voluntary targeted exchange of
documents or information by any party cure an uncertainty in the pleadings?
b.

Initial mutual exchanges of documents at the "core" of the litigation.

(For example, in an

employment case, the employment records, personnel file and documents relating to the
conduct in question could be considered ``core." ln a personal injury case, an incident or
police report, medical records, and repair or maintenance records could be considered
"core.");

c.

Exchange of names and contact information of witnesses;

d. Any insurance agreement that may be available to satisfy part or all of a judgment, or to
indemnify or reimburse for payments made to satisfy a judgment;
e.

Exchange of any other information that might be helpful to facilitate understanding, handling,
or resolution of the case in a manner that preserves objections or privileges by agreement;

f.

Controlling issues of law that, if resolved early, will promote efficiency and economy in other

phases of the case. Also, when and how such issues can be presented to the Court;
9. Whether or when the case should be scheduled with a settlement officer, what discovery or
court ruling on legal issues is reasonably required to make settlement discussions meaningful,
and whether the parties wish to use a sitting judge or a private mediator or other options as
