STIPULATION EXTENDING

LITIGATION SCHEDULE; 

ORDER

Plaintiff Janet Delyea and defendant United States of

America stipulate, by and through the undersigned counsel, to 1

the following revised case schedule as specified below and

respectfully request that the Court so approve.

The parties seek to extend certain dates within this

action’s pretrial schedule (but not its settlement conference,

pretrial conference or trial dates) as specified below. Good

cause exists in support of this stipulation, and is based on

grounds including the following:

Plaintiff’s counsel is currently tending to a very serious

family-related matter, and has been for several months. This

matter has increased in severity, resulting in plaintiff’s

counsel now tending to it on leave. Although the parties

commenced with discovery long ago, the parties will be unable to

complete discovery by this action’s present April 13, 2007

deadline in light of the above. Accordingly, the parties seek an

additional sixty (60) days by which to (1) schedule and take

those depositions deemed necessary through the production of

written discovery responses, as well as (2) propound and respond

to additional discovery whose importance to this case is exposed

within prior responses.

Since the parties need to extend discovery in this action,

they will also need to extent this action’s expert disclosure

deadlines, as well as those deadlines relating to the filing of

both non-dispositive and dispositive motions.

This way, experts will have access to all necessary case evidence

prior to issuing opinions, and the parties will be able to

address whether to file pre-trial motions armed with all

necessary case evidence. Significantly, the parties do not seek

an extension regarding this case’s settlement conference,

pretrial conference or trial date at this time.

Based on the above, the undersigned hereby stipulate to the

continuance of this action’s case schedule as specified below. 

The parties also request the Court to endorse this stipulation by

way of formal order.
