STIPULATION TO CONTINUE DATES 

FOR PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND 

TRIAL; ORDER THEREON 

Plaintiffs LAURA A. BERRY, JOSHUA N. BERRY, a Minor, by and through his Guardian 

ad Litem, LAURA A. BERRY; and NEIL W. BERRY (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant MCNEILUS 

TRUCK AND MANUFACTURING, INC. (“Defendant”), by and through their respective counsel 

of record, hereby stipulate to, and respectfully request the Court enter an Order continuing the dates 

for the pretrial conference and trial, as more particularly set forth below and for the reasons stated 

herein. 

On January 22, 2007, the Court entered its order denying the parties’ cross-motions for 

summary judgment and granting defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment. The parties 

wish to engage in mediation in an effort to resolve the case before the litigation is further pursued. 

The parties have scheduled a mediation for June 26, 2007. It could not be scheduled earlier because 

of the trial calendars of the parties’ counsel. Plaintiff’s counsel is presently in a trial that 

commenced May 7, 2007 and is expected to last five weeks. Defendant’s counsel begins a two to 

three week trial commencing June 4, 2007. In addition, William Bartlett, Chief Hydraulics 

Engineer for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. will be unavailable for trial as presently set

to commence on July 30, 2007. Mr. Bartlett is expected to be called as a witness by both parties. 

Therefore, a continuance of pre-trial and trial dates is reasonably necessary to allow for mediation 

and to promote a fair and efficient trial, and the parties therefore respectfully submit that good cause 

exists for continuing the dates for trial and the pretrial conference. 

THEREFORE, plaintiffs and defendant hereby stipulate to the following: 

1. To continue the trial from July 30, 2007 to March 10, 2008; 

2. To continue the date for the pretrial conference from June 6, 2007 to February 8, 2008 at 

3:00 p.m.; and 

3. To continue the date for filing the Joint Pretrial Statement from May 31, 2007 to 

February 1, 2008. 

Accordingly, plaintiffs and defendant hereby respectfully request that the Court continue the 

dates as suggested above. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
