STIPULATION BY THE PARTIES TO

MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

REGARDING TRIAL AND RELATED

DATES; ORDER REGARDING SAME

Plaintiff WILLIAM SHELTON Defendants MICK GREY, DENNIS COOLEY,

BERNIE LIGHTNER, EDWARD SZENDREY, CRAIG GILL, by and through their

respective counsel, hereby agree to the proposed changes set forth below and request the

Court modify the Scheduling Order issued June 23, 2006 as follows: 

 This action was initially filed on July 17, 1997. This matter has been the subject of

appellate review and multiple motions for summary judgment. The most recent motion for

summary judgment was filed by Defendants on September 1, 2006, due to a change in

applicable law. The hearing for the motion was set for October 16, 2006. On October 12,

2006, the court continued the hearing date to November 13, 2006. On November 9, 2006,

the court again continued the hearing to November 27, 2006. 

The trial in this matter presently is set to begin on December 13, 2006. The parties’

motions in limine and Kumho/Daubert motions must be filed on or before November 22,

2006. The parties must file their trial exhibits November 29 and the remaining trial-related

materials – trial briefs, joint jury instructions and verdict forms, and the Joint Statement of

the Case – on or before December 6, 2006. 

The parties are not sure how the motion for summary judgment may effect the

claims to be presented at trial. Further, the parties face extreme difficulty preparing for trial

before the adjudication of Defendants’ motion because they do not know the claims for

which must be addressed and evidence presented. Accordingly, the parties respectfully

submit that it is in the best interest of judicial efficiency and economy to continue the trial

and all related dates until the court has ruled on Defendants’ motion for summary judgment.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the parties to the

above-entitled action that the trial and trial-related dates in this matter shall be continued and

that the Court’s previous status order shall be modified as follows, subject to the court’s

calender:

• First day of trial: March 28, 2007 at 09:00

a.m.

• Last Day to File Trial Brief, Joint jury instructions

and verdict form, and joint statement of the case: March 21, 2007

• Last Day to File Trial and Exhibits and Opposition 

to Motions in Limine: March 14, 2007

• Last Day to File Motions in Limine and 

Daubert/Kumho Motions: March 7, 2007

The in limine motions shall be noticed for March 27, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.
