work on family leave in January of 2011 due to the anticipated arrival of his first child. Due to Mr. 

Loebs’ family leave, defense counsel had requested that plaintiff’s counsel agree to a thirty to fortyfive day continuance of the trial in this action. However, plaintiff’s counsel, Charles Geerhart, Esq. of 

Paoli & Geerhart, has several jury trials and other important events scheduled in and around or 

between late February, 2011 and early May, 2011. 

Accordingly, counsel for the parties request that the Court continue the trial in this action to the 

earliest available trial date convenient for all counsel, or to May 9, 2011, and/or the earliest available 

date after this time that is convenient to the Court. The parties request that the Pretrial Conference 

Date be moved from January 18, 2011 to April 26, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. and/or to another date and time 

convenient to the Court.

All other dates -- expert disclosures and discovery, dispositive motion deadline, and a further 

status conference on Nov. 5, 2010 -- shall remain unchanged.
