7 Cigna Health and Life Insurance,
8 Defendant [ECF Nos. 47, 50]
9 10 On September 2, 2025, plaintiff Irena Rasin filed a motion for leave to file supplemental 11 authority regarding a decision issued on August 28, 2025, in the Western District of 12 Washington.1 Pl.’s mot., ECF No. 47. In response, defendant Cigna Health and Life Insurance did 13 not oppose Rasin’s request; instead, it argued that the case was not relevant. Resp., ECF No. 48. 14 Then, Cigna filed a motion for leave to file supplemental authority to bring a recently issued 15 Ninth Circuit opinion to the court’s attention.2 Mot., ECF No. 50. The next day, Rasin filed a 16 notice of non-opposition. ECF No. 51. 17 The court may grant leave to file supplemental authority “for good cause.” See LR 7-2(g). 18 “Good cause may exist when the proffered supplemental authority controls the outcome of the 19 litigation, or when the proffered supplemental authority is precedential, or particularly 20 persuasive or helpful.” Alps Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v. Kalicki Collier, LLP,
526 F. Supp. 3d 805, 812 (D.
21 Nev. 2021). I grant both motions. While the parties disagree as to the relevance of Delessert, I 22 nonetheless will consider the reasoning contained therein given the pending motion to dismiss. 23 Further, the parties agree the Pritchard decision has a bearing on the outcome of that dismissal 24 motion. Accordingly, there is good cause to grant both motions. 25
