The parties hereby jointly submit the following stipulation and request to modify certain

WHEREAS Plaintiff’s counsel is a sole practitioner and needs to take some time off to 

care for her father and to administer his estate; that the day-to-day demands combined with the 

uncertainty of his final day, other than it being “imminent,” have limited counsel’s availability to 

participate in discovery during this time period. 

WHEREAS the parties in this matter have accordingly agreed to place discovery on hold 

in this matter until February 1, 2010; 

WHEREAS the discovery cutoff date in this matter is currently set for April 14, 2010, the 

expert discovery deadline is set for June 14, 2010, and the deadline for motions for summary 

judgment is set for August 13, 2010. The parties jointly respectfully request that these dates be 

continued for approximately four months. The parties do not request a continuance of the pretrial conference, trial date, or deadline for evidentiary and procedural motions, but consent to a 

continuation of those dates if the Court believes such is necessary.
