Further Status Conference Statement January 20, 2006 No Change

In support of the foregoing Stipulation, the parties through their undersigned counsel , declare

as follows:

1. Plaintiff originally filed this action on February 23, 2005. On June 3, 2005 Defendant

filed a motion to dismiss. On June 20, 2005 an Initial Case Management Conference was held

before the Court and a Pretrial Preparation Order was adopted, setting the trial schedule summarized

above, which was filed on June 27, 2005. On July 30, 2005 Plaintiff filed a Notice of Substitution

of Counsel, by which the Law Offices of Nevin & Absalom were substituted as counsel of record

for Plaintiff. On August 26, 2005 Defendants filed their Answer to the First Amended Complaint.

 This is the second request that the parties have made to alter or extend the Scheduling Order in this

matter.

2. The parties completed the exchange of initial disclosures and additional written

discovery on September 26, 2005. In addition, the parties have scheduled the first round of

depositions which will commence on October 27, 2005. Additional depositions are being scheduled

for December 12 and 13, 2005 to be taken in North Carolina. Several depositions of other percipient

witnesses remain to be completed. The parties are scheduled to participate in Mediation on

November 16, 2005. Since current counsel for plaintiffs entered the case in July 2005, before any

discovery had been undertaken in the case, the parties have been working cooperatively to prepare

the case for mediation and to schedule the necessary discovery. However, counsel agree that the

necessary discovery can not be completed within the current time schedule.

3. On October 17, 2005 the parties filed a Stipulation to Enlarge Time pursuant to which

they sought an order continuing the trial date and all other pretrial events. By Order issued on

October 18 the Court denied that request but “without prejudice to the parties’” seeking an th

extension of the discovery cut-off dates. Although Plaintiffs’ lead trial counsel still has a conflict

with the current trial schedule, as pointed out in the earlier Stipulation, his partner will appear at trial

if that conflict is not resolved. Nonetheless, all counsel agree that it remains desirable and necessary

to extend the time for the completion of discovery, including out of State depositions. In order to

complete all remaining pre-trial matters within the current trial setting schedule, counsel seek the

Court’s approval to extend the discovery cut off dates and the date for hearing dispositive motions,

in accordance with the schedule proposed above.

For the foregoing reasons, the parties hereto, by and through their undersigned counsel,

declare, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing statements are true and correct, and request the

Court to continue the trial date and other schedules as set forth above.

Respectfully submitted,
