2. Category 2 – Continued Defense of Action in the NUCP Litigation Re. Tioga
Construction and PB2 Cross-Complaints, Damages, and Discovery Related Issues.
Special Counsel expended approximately 97.4 hours in this category for a total charge of
$28,561.00. The services performed in this category included the exhaustive continued discovery
negotiations and dispute with Tioga Construction. (NUCP Turlock’s counsel in the state court
action was also counsel for Tioga Construction.) Although NUCP was subject to the automatic
stay, Tioga Construction argued it was not and continued extensive and protracted discovery that
NUCP sought prior to the automatic stay. In effect, NUCP was seeking to obtain under the guise of
Tioga Construction the same discovery that was barred under the automatic stay. Special Counsel
had to continue to engage in exhaustive meet and confers, exchange of partial documents, review of
motions and consideration of filing motions to respond to Tioga’s requests. Counsel also had to
consider filing motions for summary adjudication, as well as motions to compel regarding the
extensive and exhaustive discovery dispute with NUCP. Counsel had to prepare for and attend
several hearings with the state court to address Tioga Construction’s demands. This Court
apparently has observed a glimpse of the discovery dispute and NUCP’s tendency to file exhaustive
motions.
