Brennan has ordered counsel for Plaintiffs to comply with these rules by July 27, 2016. (See, 

Doc. 52.) Counsel for Plaintiffs has been out of contact with the clients since approximately 

September 2015 due to Plaintiffs’ participation in a witness protection program. Discovery to 

Plaintiffs from Defendants has been outstanding since August 2015 and remains unresolved. The 

parties request the additional time to permit counsel for Plaintiffs to contact Plaintiffs and 

determine whether to proceed with the litigation and/or to establish a process for timely and 

effective communication with the Plaintiffs through a guardian ad litem. The parties respectfully 

request the Court grant this stipulation to allow them adequate time to prepare the case for trial.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
