2. William B. Wahlheim, Jr. of the law firm Maynard Cooper & Gale PC, was 

recently appointed by an insurance carrier to represent Defendants Amy O. Smith and Jonda 

Henry as counsel in this litigation; 

3. Mr. Rillo entered his appearance of record on March 15, 2010 (Dkt. 13); 

4. Although Mr. Walheim signed the Stipulation filed with the Court at Dkt. 19, 

he technically has not entered his appearance of record; 

5. Defendant Robert Eddy is presently appearing pro se; 

6. As a result of their recent entry in this litigation and their inability to complete 

their investigation of the allegations of the Complaint, the parties have had insufficient time to 

confer as required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(f) and prepare their joint status report which includes a 

Rule 26(f) discovery plan; 

7. Pursuant to a Stipulation and Order of this Court, the Defendants have been 

ordered to file their responsive pleadings to the Complaint no later than April 9, 2010 (Dkt. 

19, 21); and 

8. For good cause shown, the parties should be granted an extension until on or 

before April 16, 2010, to file their Joint Status Report as ordered by this Court (Dkt. 4). 

As this is an extension of time from this Court’s order issued January 27, 2010 (Dkt. 

4), the parties request that this Court approve this extension by signing the Proposed Order 

attached, pursuant to Local Rule 6-144(a). There have been no prior requests for an extension 

from the Court’s Order at Dkt. 4.
