Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Continue Pretrial Filing Deadline to July 25, 2018 (4:16-cv-05564-HSG)

Following extensive good faith meet and confer, the parties jointly request a one-week 

continuance of the July 18, 2018 pretrial filing deadline (for a revised statement of the case, 

revised proposed jury instructions, and revised proposed voir dire questions per Dkt. No. 161), for 

the following reasons. As reflected in Plaintiff’s trial availability schedule (Doc. 160), both 

Plaintiff’s trial counsel are on vacation July 11 through 18. As reflected in Defendants’ trial 

availability calendar (Doc. 159), defense lead counsel Lowhurst is on vacation for the period June 

1- July 11, and DAG Plank is on vacation June 14 and 15, and from July 2 through 6. Therefore, 

under the current schedule it is not possible for both lead counsel to jointly review and finalize the 

pre-trial filings before the July 18 due date. Specifically, while the parties can, and will, prepare 

draft documents in anticipation of a July 18th deadline, Defendant’s lead counsel (Lowhurst) will 

not be able to review the filings until July 12, by which time all of Plaintiff’s counsel will be 

absent. Should the Court allow, the parties stipulate to a one-week extension for the filing of the 

revised statement of the case, revised proposed jury instructions, and revised proposed voir dire 

questions, to July 25, 2018.

Dated: June 4, 2018 Respectfully submitted,
