Plaintiff, vs. Correctional Medical Services, Inc., et al., Defendants.
North American Specialty Insurance Company ("North American") requests summary adjudication of its pending motion to intervene at the final pretrial conference scheduled for March 3, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. North American seeks to intervene for the sole purpose of submitting special interrogatories or special verdict forms to the jury that would identify the basis of a verdict against its insured, defendant Correctional Medical Services, Inc. ("CMS"), if any. North American's motion was prompted by a recent summary judgment ruling in a pending declaratory judgment lawsuit that no coverage exists for some of the claims against CMS in this lawsuit. North American's motion was filed on February 3, 2006. Responsive memoranda were due on or before February 21, 2006. LRCiv 7.2(c); F.R.Civ.P. 6(a); F.R.Civ.P.

6(e). To date, no parties have opposed the motion. Pursuant to LRCiv 7.2(i), the failure of an opposing party to file an answering memorandum may be deemed a consent to the granting of a motion and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily. There being no opposition filed with the Court, North American respectfully requests that the Court grant its motion to intervene and sign the proposed form of Order attached hereto. Dated this 2nd day of March, 2006. PESHKIN & KOTALIK, P.C.
