provide the parties an additional ten (10) days to identify and designate an expert 

witness qualified to inspect the Mahrooms’ Motel. The parties make this request 

because a majority of BWI’s employees are in Montreal, Canada for BWI’s Annual 

Convention (Oct. 15-19, 2007) and thus are unavailable to discuss and recommend 

a possible expert witness to inspect the Mahrooms’ Motel. The Mahrooms also 

request additional time to discuss and recommend a possible expert witness to 

inspect their Motel as the Court indicated at the October 12, 2007 hearing. For 

these reasons, the parties request this Court continue the October 19, 2007 deadline 

for designating an expert witness on this matter and instead set the new deadline for 

October 31, 2007.
