Yukich v. Travellers Insur. Co., 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 18567 (9th Cir. Jul. 27, 2000)(Unpublished)

Yukich v. Travelers Insur. Co., 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 18567 (9th Cir. Jul. 27, 2000)(Unpublished)-This court affirmed the district court's summary judgment against Yukich.  Yukich sued following a denial of his claim for long-term disability benefits.  Yukich failed to show diligence in pursuing discovery; when his response in opposition to summary judgment was due, he merely filed a motion for clarification and for assistance in securing a claims manual—which he could have easily sought earlier.  The district court acted well within its discretion, both in refusing any further continuance and in ruling on the motion.
