STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER CONTINUING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Plaintiff, Meryl Borders-Humphrey, and Defendant, Prison Health Services, Inc., through 

their counsel, jointly stipulate to continuing the case management conference currently scheduled for 

Friday, February 8, 2008, for the following reasons: 

Plaintiff's employment with defendant Prison Health Services, Inc. (PHS) was governed by a 

collective bargaining agreement. Plaintiff filed a union grievance challenging the termination of her

employment. That grievance has now proceeded to arbitration. The arbitration commenced on 

December 4, 2007, and a second session was held on January 17, 2008. Because the arbitration was 

not completed on January 17, a third (and anticipated final) arbitration session is scheduled for 

Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Because the resolution of the arbitration could impact the scope and

timing of the present proceeding, the parties are not presently in a position to schedule this case for 

completion of discovery or trial. 

In addition, Plaintiff has indicated her intention to amend the complaint to add American 

Service Group, Inc. as an additional defendant. The requested continuance will provide the parties 

time to confer regarding Plaintiff's intention. 

For these reasons, the parties respectfully request that the February 8 case management 

conference be continued for approximately 90-120 days (until mid- to late-May 2008) in order to 

allow an opportunity to complete the arbitration and receive a ruling from the arbitrator and to 

resolve whether there will be an amendment to the pleadings.
