February 16, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 421 AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER. In accordance with the parties' stipulation (Doc. #416), any summary judgment motions shall be filed on or before March 18, 2022; any objection or other response to summary judgment motions shall be filed by May 17, 2022; any reply shall be filed by June 16, 2022.

February 16, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 420 ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO AMEND THE SCHEDULING ORDER TO PERMIT THE FILING OF AN AMENDED CLASS CERTIFICATION MOTION (Doc. #407 ). For substantially the reasons stated in CHLIC's objection (Doc. #411 ), the Court DENIES plaintiffs' motion to amend the scheduling order to permit the filing of an amended class certification motion (Doc. #407 ). The Court concludes that the filing of an amended class certification motion is not consistent with the parties' stipulation (Doc. #260 ), that there is not "good cause" shown to amend the scheduling order, that any amended class could and should have been proposed at an earlier time, that there is still uncertainty about the scope of the proposed amended class, and that CHLIC would be unfairly prejudiced. In so ruling, the Court recognizes its discretion to amend the schedule and to allow another class certification motion but concludes for the reasons stated by CHLIC that the equities do not weigh in favor of plaintiffs' motion. Even accepting the plaintiffs' evidence that CHLIC was aware of its wrongdoing, this does not mean that the wrongdoing is susceptible to adjudication by means of a class action on the terms proposed by the plaintiffs.

May 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 399 ORDER. The parties shall comply with the Court's discovery order dated May 12, 2021, [ECF No. 398], within fourteen (14) days. D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 37(d). Exhibits previously sealed on the docket that have now been ordered sealed/unsealed in part will have to be redacted accordingly by the parties and re-entered on the docket. Signed by Judge S. Dave Vatti on 5/14/21.(Arroyo, Alexandra)
May 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 398 Docket Entry for Negron et al v. CIGNA et al, 3:16CV1702 (JAM) as to Motions 316, 327, 331, 365 and 371For good cause shown, a court may "requir[e] that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1)(G). "In most cases, a judge must carefully and skeptically review sealing requests to insure that there really is an extraordinary circumstance or compelling need." In re Orion Pictures Corp., 21 F.3d 24, 27 (2d Cir. 1994). "Good cause is established by demonstrating a clearly defined and serious injury resulting from disclosure....Broad allegations of harm will not establish good cause; rather, to establish good cause under Rule 26(c), courts require a particular and specific demonstration of fact, as distinguished from stereotyped and conclusory statements." Hanson v. U.S. Airports Air Cargo, LLC, No. 3:07CV353 (JCH)(HBF), 2008 WL 4426909, at *1 (D. Conn. Sept. 26, 2008) (internal citations and quotations omitted). Further, under Local Rule 5(e)(3), sealing must be supported by "clear and compelling reasons" and "narrowly tailored to serve those reasons." D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 5(e)(3). Accordingly, plaintiffs' Motion to Seal [ECF No. 316] is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part as set forth in detail below. The motion is GRANTED, consistent with proposed sealing designations, as to Exhibits B, E, F, H, J, K, L, M, P, Q, R, S, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, AC, AD, AF, AG, AH, AI, AJ, AK, AM, AP, AR, AS, AT, AU, AV, AY, AZ, BB, BE, BG, BH, BI, BL, BM, BO, BP, BQ, BT and BU, based on: (1) the Court's finding that defendant CIGNA Health and Life Insurance Company ("CHLIC") has established good cause and the proposed sealing designations are appropriately narrowly tailored; and (2) the plaintiffs' representations that they do not object to CHLIC's proposed sealing designations. Plaintiffs' motion to seal as to Exhibit I is DENIED and this document is ORDERED unsealed in its entirety as the Court concludes that the document contains information relevant to plaintiffs' claims and CHLIC has not met its burden of setting forth specific and particularized facts to demonstrate that it would suffer competitive harm at this time from disclosure of this document. Plaintiffs' motion to seal as to Exhibit T is GRANTED for good cause, consistent with the sealing designations proposed by plaintiffs and agreed upon by the parties, as defendants have not demonstrated good cause for any further redactions of that document. Plaintiffs' Motion to Seal is GRANTED as to Exhibits BJ and BK, which are ORDERED sealed in full, and GRANTED as to Exhibits BA, BC and BD consistent with the designations agreed upon by the parties and the additional designations proposed by CHLIC because the Court finds that these documents contain sensitive commercial information dating back within a five-year window from the present, which CHCLIC's competitors could utilize to highlight deficiencies in CHLIC's products and/or processes and gain current competitive advantage. Plaintiffs' Motion to Seal is GRANTED as to Exhibit BR only as to the names of business owners and account names contained in the document and is otherwise ORDERED unsealed as CHLIC has not established good cause for sealing the remaining content of the document. Lastly, plaintiffs' motion to seal is GRANTED as to Exhibits AN and AO consistent with the proposed sealing designations by the plaintiffs and the non-party custodian as the Court finds that good cause has been established.Plaintiffs' motion to seal [ECF No. 327] the letter brief of plaintiffs' counsel dated September 18, 2020 (ECF No. 325) that references content in Exhibit I, is DENIED and the letter brief is ORDERED unsealed in full for the same reasons for which the Court denied sealing as to Exhibit I, which are set forth above. Plaintiffs' motion to seal [ECF No. 331] is DENIED in part as to the letter brief of counsel dated September 21, 2020 [ECF No. 329], which is ORDERED unsealed in full, and GRANTED in part as to Exhibits A, C, D, and G consistent with the parties' proposed sealing designations based on: (1) the Court's finding that defendant CHLIC has established good cause; and (2) plaintiffs' representations that they do not object to CHLIC's proposed sealing designations. To the extent that this motion addressed Exhibits B, E, F and H, which the Court already addressed in its ruling with respect to plaintiffs' Motion to Seal [ECF No. 316] above, it is DENIED as moot.Plaintiffs' motion to seal [ECF No. 365] is DENIED in part as to Exhibits CC and CD, which are ORDERED unsealed in full as CHLIC has not established good cause to maintain these documents under seal and GRANTED in part as to Exhibits BX, BZ, CE, CG, CJ and BW consistent with the parties' proposed sealing designations based on: (1) the Court's finding that defendant CHLIC has established good cause and the sealing designations are narrowly tailored; and (2) the plaintiffs' representations that they do not object to CHLIC's proposed sealing designations.Plaintiffs' Motion to Seal Exhibit CK [ECF No. 371] is GRANTED consistent with the parties' proposed sealing designations as the Court concludes that CHLIC has established good cause, the designations are narrowly tailored and the plaintiffs have represented that they do not oppose the proposed sealing designations.This is not a recommended ruling. This is an order regarding case management which is reviewable pursuant to the "clearly erroneous" statutory standard of review. 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(A). As such, it is an order of the Court unless reversed or modified by the District Judge upon a timely made motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); and D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 72.2.SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge S. Dave Vatti on May 12, 2021. (Arroyo, Alexandra)

September 22, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 336 ORDER RE DEPOSITION OF DAVID CORDANI. In accordance with the Court's oral ruling following the hearing today, the Court overrules defendant CHLIC's objection to the deposition of Cigna CEO David Cordani. The parties do not appear to dispute the governing legal principles that allow for the deposition of a top corporate executive but subject to protections against the possibility that an adverse party may improperly seek to depose a top corporate executive for reasons of leverage or harassment and without a good faith basis to believe that the executive has material and non-cumulative knowledge of facts of significance to the litigation. See, e.g., Scott v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., 306 F.R.D. 120, 122-23 (S.D.N.Y. 2015) (discussing applicable principles). The Court concludes that plaintiffs have established sufficient and good faith reasons to depose Mr. Cordani in light of the document identifying him as project sponsor for the "Pharmacy Over Payments" project for Argus Transition, in light of the deposition testimony of Chris Hocevar who directly reported to Mr. Cordani and suggesting the possibility of Mr. Cordani's knowledge of the alleged scheme, and in light of the overall financial significance of the alleged scheme involving $100 million of payments to the company. There is even one document from Mr. Hocevar to Mr. Cordani among others that refers to "claw back mechanism currently being assessed." I am satisfied that the plaintiffs have made an adequate showing to suggest that Mr. Cordani may have non-cumulative knowledge of facts integral to the alleged scheme and that his knowledge as company leader is highly significant to plaintiffs' liability claims. I am not convinced that plaintiffs seek to depose Mr. Cordani for improper reasons of harassment. Nor am I convinced that plaintiffs must first depose other senior executives named by CHLIC before seeking to depose Mr. Cordani. In order to limit the potential for prejudice I will limit the deposition as plaintiffs propose to proceed remotely by video and not to exceed three hours. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 09/22/2020. (Martinez, C.)
