Stipulation to Continue Settlement Conference, CMC Statement, and Case Management Conference Return Date; Order Thereon

respectively, be continued to a date at least one week after the Settlement Conference has been

concluded, and preferably to July 1, 2010, and July 8, 2010, respectively.

This Stipulation is made and based on the following facts:

1. That Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte, the Settlement Conference Judge,

required all counsel to personally attend the April 14, 2010, Settlement Conference; 

2. That on April 8, 2010, six days before the scheduled Settlement Conference,

Susan H. Green of Ring & Green, the attorney handling this matter on Plaintiff’s behalf, flew to

Chicago to be with her gravely ill 19 year old daughter, who had been in and out of emergency

rooms during the preceding three days;

3. That counsel’s daughter ultimately was hospitalized in the Chicago area on April

10, 2010, and remained in the hospital until her discharge on April 15, 2010;

4. That as a result of her daughter’s hospitalization and counsel’s need to remain

with her daughter, counsel was unable to attend the Settlement Conference in this matter that

previously had been scheduled for April 14, 2010;

5. That Robert A. Ring, the only other attorney at Ring & Green, also was unable

to attend the Settlement Conference on April 14, 2010, due to serious injuries that he sustained in a

March 20, 2010, bicycle accident, which injuries, even as of this date, continue to preclude him

from driving, traveling, or carrying any weight whatsoever; 

6. That on April 12, 2010, Plaintiff’s counsel’s paralegal contacted both counsel

for the Defendant United States of America and Judge Laporte’s clerk to seek a continuance of the

Settlement Conference due to the extenuating circumstances; 

7. That the parties agreed to continue the Settlement Conference to a mutually

agreeable date. After consultation with Judge Laporte’s clerk, the parties have secured a settlement

conference date of June 17, 2010; 

8. That as this Court had requested the parties to attempt to settle this matter before

Judge Laporte before conducting a further Case Management Conference herein, the parties

respectfully submit that both the date for filing the Joint Case Management Statement and the date

of the further Case Management Conferences should be continued to a date after the currently
