ORDER CASE NO. 2:19-cv-00902-WBS-DMC

Having read and considered the Parties’ Joint Stipulation to Reset the December 19, 2022 

status conference and modify the briefing schedule for Plaintiff Harper’s pending Motion to Vacate 

the Court’s October 13, 2021 Order Compelling Arbitration (D.E. 316), the Court finds GOOD 

CAUSE and GRANTS the Stipulation as follows: 

WHEREAS, on November 1, 2022 the Court set a status conference in this action for 

December 19, 2022, at 1:30 pm to be held via Zoom (D.E. 311);

WHEREAS, several months before the Court’s order setting the status conference, Charter’s 

lead counsel in this matter, Nathan D. Chapman, booked pre-paid, non-refundable travel via plane 

and rail from Atlanta, Georgia to Marseilles, France for him, his wife, and their three children to 

visit his sister, niece, and nephew for the Christmas holiday;

WHEREAS, Mr. Chapman and his family are scheduled to depart on a flight leaving at 3:50 

pm EST on Monday December 19, 2022 and return on December 30, 2022;

WHEREAS, Paul G. Sherman, Mr. Chapman’s co-counsel who recently entered an 

appearance in this case was planning to attend the status conference in Mr. Chapman’s absence, but, 

when the Court entered its order on December 14, 2022 (requiring counsel to appear in person), Mr. 

Chapman determined that, as lead counsel for Charter in this action, he should attend the status 

conference himself; 

WHEREAS, approximately one hour after the Court’s minute order requiring counsel to 

appear in person for the December 19, 2022 status conference, Charter’s counsel contacted 

Plaintiffs’ counsel to request that he agree to Charter’s request to reset the December 19, 2022 status 

conference so that Mr. Chapman did not have to cancel his international travel;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ counsel agreed to reset the December 19, 2022 status conference for 

January 9, 2023 or such other date after January 2, 2023 as the Court deems appropriate;

WHEREAS, the Parties also agreed to modify the briefing schedule for Plaintiff Harper’s 

pending Motion to Vacate the Court’s October 13, 2021 Order Compelling Arbitration (“Motion to 

Vacate”), given that Charter’s response to falls on December 16, 2022, and Plaintiff Harper’s reply 

brief is due December 27, 2022, the day after the federal Christmas holiday.
