Case No. 10-00410 PJH 

Action Date: December 21, 2009 

 

 STIPULATION REQUESTING 

 CHANGE IN DATE OF CASE 

 MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Date: July 1, 2010 

Time: 2:00 p.m. 

Ctrm: 3 / 3rd Floor - Oakland 

Judge: Phyllis J. Hamilton 

 The parties jointly seek to change the date of the Case Management Conference in the 

above-captioned case, currently scheduled for Thursday, July 29, 2010, to Thursday, July 1, 

2010, on the following grounds: 

1. The lead counsel for the Defendant, Arch Stokes, is also lead counsel in an 

arbitration case, Smitco v. The Krystal Company, No. 30-114-00315-09. That case has recently 

been scheduled for an arbitration hearing beginning July 27, 2010 in Chattanooga, TN; 

2. The scheduling of the Smitco arbitration hearing will make it impossible for Mr. 

Stokes to attend the Case Management Conference on July 29, 2010;

3. This Court requires the parties’ counsel to attend the Case Management 

Conference in person; 

4. The parties agree that July 1, 2010 is a date that will be a satisfactory substitute to 

the currently-scheduled date of July 29, and both parties’ counsel can attend a Case Management 

Conference on that date; 

5. This stipulated request to reschedule is timely made more than two months in 

advance of the currently scheduled date for the Case Management Conference; 

6. The Court’s website reveals no conflict on the date of July 1, 2010; 

7. Prior to this, the only scheduling modification was made by this Court when 

Judge Hamilton took over the case from Magistrate Larson and rescheduled the Motions hearing 

date from April 14, 2010, to June 23, 2010; and 

8. The only change necessitated by the requested change in the date of the Case 

Management Conference would be to require that the parties’ Case Management Statement be 

filed on or before June 24, 2010, instead of July 22, 2010. 

The parties therefore request that the Court reschedule the Case Management Conference, 

currently scheduled for July 29, 2010, to July 1, 2010 and require that the parties’ Case 

Management Statement be filed on or before June 24, 2010, instead of July 22, 2010.
