At the case management conference on February 17, 2010, the court set the following pretrial dates: 

May 11, 2010 – Last day to disclose experts 

May 28, 2010 – Discovery cutoff (except as to pending discovery motions or noticed 

matters) 

June 25, 2010 – Last day to depose experts 

July 7, 2010 – Last day to hear dispositive motions 

July 23, 2010 – Last day to complete ADR proceeding 

August 11, 2010 – Pretrial conference 

October 4, 2010 – Trial, expected to last 7 to 10 days 

Counsel respectfully request adjustment to these dates, except for the trial date, for the 

following reasons. On April 5, 2010 counsel for plaintiff reported that plaintiff had obtained a 

second medical opinion and elected to have further surgery for a condition that she contends is 

related to injuries for which she is suing in this litigation. Surgery is planned for April or May, 

2010 and recovery is expected to take several weeks. After this time, plaintiff will be able and 

willing to submit to an independent medical examination by defendants’ medical experts. Plaintiff 

will also be able to participate in her continued deposition. 

Further, defendant Hyundai has filed a motion for summary judgment, scheduled to be 

heard on May 12, 2010. Defendants John T. Essenberger and Lungi Shipping anticipate filing a 

motion for summary judgment during the week of April 12. Defendants’ motions relate to the 

liability issues in this case and are expected at a minimum to narrow the issues for trial and, as a 

result, the issues to be addressed by the parties’ experts. Also, defendants expect that the motions 

will facilitate meaningful settlement negotiations. 

For these reasons, counsel for the parties hereby jointly stipulate to the following proposed 

schedule and respectfully ask the Court enter an order that as nearly as possible conforms to the 

schedule set forth below.
