This diversity action arises from insurance coverage dispute that stems from damages caused by Hurricane Laura to Plaintiff's property located at 1310 N Martin Luther King Hwy., Lake Charles, Louisiana 70601-2051 (“Property”) on August 27, 2020. Doc. 1., p. 2. AmGUARD provided a policy of insurance, number BHBP088505 (“Policy”), to Plaintiff, which covered the Property against perils including hurricanes and provided the following coverages: $2,500 for awnings coverage; $946,400 for building coverage; $230,000 for business personal property coverage; $10,000 for debris removal; $10,000 for ordinance and law. Id. Plaintiff reported the loss to AmGUARD, who assigned it claim number BHBP088505-001-001-001. Id. On September 8, 2020, AmGUARD retained Engle Martin & Associates, who inspected the Property. Id. at 3; doc. 14, p. 5. On November 11, 2020, Plaintiff retained Complete Adjusting Services, LLC (“CAS”), which inspected the Property. Doc. 1., p. 3. On November 20, 2020, Plaintiff sent a demand letter to AmGUARD to release unconditional tenders. Id. at 4; doc. 14, p. 6. On August 8, 2021, Plaintiff filed suit in this Court alleging claims for damages under breach of insurance contract, bad faith claims adjusting, and other bad acts, including penalties, under Louisiana Revised Statutes sections 22:1892 and 22:1973.

Here, Plaintiff claims that AmGUARD has failed to produce and supplement the insurance claim file in its entirety as required by the Case Management Order (“CMO”). Doc. 17-1, p. 6. Additionally, Plaintiff argues that AmGUARD has neither produced information relating to a re-inspection of the Property nor the expert report incorporating information related to the re-inspection of the Property. Id. at 7. AmGUARD responds that it is not required to make expert disclosures until March 8, 2023, and, consequently, its production of expert materials on March 8 will moot this motion. Also, AmGUARD contends out that the Plaintiff did not comply with Rule 37 in bringing this motion. Plaintiff replied that it attempted to confer with AmGUARD on February 15, 2023, to no avail. The parties shall confer in good faith and conduct a Rule 37 Conference after AmGUARD's March 8 Deadline. Thereafter, if Plaintiff has not received the necessary discovery, it can resubmit a motion to compel at that time.
