STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

RE: MODIFICATION OF SCHEDULING

ORDER 

COMES NOW the parties through their respective counsel of record and hereby STIPULATE

AND AGREE that the current Scheduling Order be modified to allow the parties to complete

discovery, file dispositive motions, if necessary, and participate in a meaningful Settlement

Conference. These modifications are necessary due to the fact that a number of out-of-state

depositions have to be completed, counsel for FEDERATED was engaged in a lengthy Trial and

Binding Arbitrations affecting the scheduling of certain depositions, and Plaintiff recently underwent

a back surgery. As such, the parties are requesting that all dates be extended for a period of

approximately 90 days as follows:
