JOINT PRETRIAL CONFERENCE STATEMENT; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE NO. CV 00827-MCE-JFM

1. The trial is currently set for October 15, 2007, with pretrial deadlines 

for various submissions on September 21, 2007, September 28, 2007, October 5, 2007, 

and a hearing concerning motions in limine set for October 12, 2007. 

2. Plaintiff’s counsel, Lawrence J. King, received word today that his 

63 year old, single, sister-in-law, Patricia Shannon, with whom his wife, two daughters 

and he are very close, died in her sleep last night. Mr. King is the Executor of Ms. 

Shannon’s estate and will be leaving for Los Angeles to make arrangements for Ms. 

Shannon’s funeral and to attend to her estate. Mr. King anticipates that for the next 

several days and few weeks, he will be preoccupied with Ms. Shannon’s death, her 

affairs, and his family’s grief and, therefore, will not be able to meet the pretrial deadlines 

in this case, nor properly complete the final preparations for the trial. 

3. Counsel for the parties have met and conferred and agreed to jointly 

request a continuance of the trial. 

4. Mr. King and his family would appreciate whatever consideration the 

Court might grant under the circumstances.
