WHEREAS, the parties and Attorney Stephan have met and conferred with 

regard to the necessity of the deposition of Attorney Stephan and the scope of any 

such deposition; 

WHEREAS, on November 2, 2012 Attorney Stephan filed a motion to quash 

the subpoena for his deposition (Docket #146), which subpoena was issued and 

served upon him by Defendant ST. PAUL SURPLUS LINES INSURANCE 

COMPANY (“St. Paul”), but counsel for St. Paul and Attorney Stephan continued 

their meet and confer efforts to resolve the outstanding issues; 

WHEREAS, by order dated November 13, 2012 Magistrate Brennan vacated 

the December 5, 2012 hearing on Attorney Stephan’s motion to quash on the 

grounds that the hearing date fell outside the existing discovery cut-off date as the 

matter at issue. However, Magistrate Brennan’s order stated that the parties may file 

a motion or stipulation to further modify the amended pretrial scheduling order. 

WHEREAS, the parties and Attorney Stephan wish to have additional time to 

continue their efforts to resolve the issues regarding Attorney Stephan’s deposition, 

to take the deposition of Attorney Stephan, if necessary, and to have the Court 

decide any issues pertaining to Attorney Stephan’s deposition that the parties are 

unable to resolve. 

NOW, THEREFORE, by and through their undersigned counsel of record, 

Plaintiff CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY, Defendant ST. PAUL 

SURPLUS LINES INSURANCE COMPANY and Third Party GEORGE J. 

STEPHAN hereby stipulate to the following: 

1. The last day for the parties to complete the deposition of George J. 

Stephan, Esq. is continued to such later date as the parties and Attorney Stephan 

may agree, but no later than December 20, 2012. 

2. Any motions pertaining to the deposition of Attorney Stephan should 

be heard by December 20, 2012. The parties agree that the motion to quash 

subpoena, which was filed by Attorney Stephan (Docket #146), can be re-set for
