March 15, 2010 and the trial scheduled for April 12, 2010 in light of the Defendants’ pending

motions for summary judgment. 

On June 18, 2009, this Court issued an order on Plaintiff’s motion to continue trial and

pretrial dates whereby the Court ordered dispositive motions to be filed by February 24, 2010, a

pretrial conference scheduled for March 15, 2010, and a trial date of April 12, 2010 (Doc. 133). 

On February 23, 2010, Defendant David Runnels filed his motion for summary judgment

currently set for hearing on March 31, 2010 (Docs. 154, 155). Defendant M.S. Evans filed his

motion for summary judgment on February 23, 2010 currently set for hearing on March 31,

2010 (Doc. 153). On the same date, Defendants Jeffrey Rohlfing, M.D. and A. Gillett filed their

motions for summary judgment also set for March 31, 2010 (Doc. 156). On February 24, 2010,

Defendant K. Baughman filed her motion for summary judgment set for hearing on March 31,

2010 (Docs.157-161). Currently, Defendant Jeff Briddle’s motion for summary judgment

(Doc.145) is set for hearing on March 10, 2010 although Plaintiff has recently filed an ex parte

application to continue the hearing to March 31, 2010 as well (Doc. 162). 

Given the hearings on Defendants’ motions for summary judgment will be heard (with

the possible exception of Defendant Briddle) on March 31, 2010, over two weeks after the

scheduled pretrial conference and twelve (12) days before the scheduled start of trial, all parties

to this action have agreed that good cause exists to vacate the pretrial conference and trial dates,

and request that these dates be rescheduled after the Court issues its rulings on these dispositive

motions. Otherwise, the parties will be forced to expend great time and expenses preparing for

trial while their motions for summary judgment are still pending. The parties believe that

vacating the pretrial conference and trial dates will best serve the interests of justice and judicial

economy.
