Case No.: C09-00687 PJH 

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER 

CHANGING TIME OF PRETRIAL 

CONFERENCE AND/OR PRETRIAL 

CONFERENCE DEADLINES

 The Parties, by and through their respective attorneys, hereby stipulate to the following 

request for an order changing time of the pretrial conference and/or pretrial conference 

deadlines: 

1. The Pretrial Conference in this matter is currently set for Thursday, February 3, 

2011 at 2:30 p.m.

2. Per this Court’s Pretrial Instructions, a joint pretrial statement, joint voir dire 

instructions, joint jury instructions, trial briefs, motions in limine, deposition 

excerpts, witness lists, exhibit lists, exhibit binders, proposed findings of fact and 

conclusions of law, and proposed verdict forms are all due to be filed by 

Thursday, January 6, 2011. 

3. This Court made its decision on the motions for summary judgment on Thursday, 

December 23, 2010. That decision necessarily impacted everything the parties 

had to do to prepare the documents that are due on Thursday, January 6, 2011. In 

effect, the parties had two weeks to prepare all those documents. 

4. Two weeks is an inadequate amount of time to prepare all the documents due to 

be filed on Thursday, January 6, 2011. The parties are working diligently on 

getting these documents prepared, but have realized that they do not have 

sufficient time to adequately prepare said documents so as to benefit the Court 

and the parties at the pretrial conference. The parties’ progress on preparing these 

documents has been hampered by the holiday season in which all counsel had 

family plans and the illness of Plaintiff’s counsel, Arnold M. Woods, who was not 

able to be at work much of the week before and after Christmas because of a flu 

virus and bacterial infection. 

5. As such, the parties jointly request that the pretrial conference be continued for 

two weeks, to February 17, 2011, which would thereby continue the pretrial 

conference deadlines by two weeks to January 20, 2011. 

6. This requested time modification would result in a pretrial conference occurring 

11 days before the scheduled trial date. The parties do not believe it would 

impact the trial itself.

7. Alternatively, if the Court desires to keep the current pretrial conference date, the 

parties would jointly request that the pretrial conference deadlines be continued 

for two weeks to January 20, 2011. 

8. This requested time modification would result in the Court having 14 days to 

review the pretrial documents in advance of the pretrial conference. The parties 

do not believe it would impact the trial in the matter. 

9. Previously, the parties to this case sought and received an extension of scheduling 

deadlines because of related cases and a requirement to coordinate discovery in 

the cases. Plaintiff also sought and received a continuance of the summary 

judgment hearing and deadlines because she was faced with responding to two 

summary judgment motions at the same time. As the parties were awaiting the 

Court’s ruling on the summary judgment motions, they sought and received an 

extension of time of the expert disclosures and discovery, so that the parties could 

obtain the summary judgment ruling before incurring expert costs. 

10. The parties originally made this request via a stipulated administrative motion on 

Thursday, December 30, 2010, but were informed that the request should be made 

pursuant to a stipulated request to change time and are so doing. 

Dated this 5th day of January 2011.
