REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM CASE

MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE AND

STIPULATION OF COUNSEL

[Local Rule 16-2(d)]

Suit Filed: April 3, 2006

Trial Date: February 8, 2008

The parties, through their designated counsel of record herein, hereby respectfully request

relief from the current case management schedule and stipulate to the changes requested herein.

The reasons for the stipulation and request are as follows:

Plaintiff allegedly suffered various injuries to his thumb and wrist in the incident that

serves as the basis of his complaint. Plaintiff’s wrist was operated by Dr. Leonard Gordon in

August of 2006. He was operated on again in February 2007. He had another surgical procedure

completed on July 24, 2007. The parties just completed the second session of plaintiff’s

deposition in mid September. Plaintiff has a follow up appointment scheduled for December

2007 and has not yet been deemed permanent and stationary. Further, the parties plan to

schedule additional depositions including the depositions of plaintiff’s treating physicians and

defendants plan to complete an IME on plaintiff. The parties anticipate mediating the case

sometime in the next six weeks. Further, given the schedules of counsel and the witnesses it will

be difficult to schedule and complete these depositions prior to the currently scheduled discovery

cut off. Additionally, after the completion of those depositions the parties anticipate that

additional depositions may be necessary, but wish to conserve the resources associated with

completing those depositions until after mediation.

The parties, therefore, stipulate as follows:

That the dates in the July 26 , 2007 Pretrial Preparation Order be vacated and reset to

allow the parties to conduct additional discovery, mediate the case and possibly conduct

additional discovery post mediation. Specifically, the parties stipulate that the discovery cut-off

be extended until November 21, 2007, that the expert discovery cut-off be continued until

January 11, 2008, that the expert disclosure date be continued to November 30, 2007, the

mediation completion date be continued to November 15, 2007. The parties do not desire to

move the trial date at this time, but reserve right to stipulate to and/or move for an extension of

that date.
