STIPULATION AND ORDER

AMENDING SCHEDULING ORDER

Plaintiff Jody K. George and defendant United States

stipulate, by and through the undersigned counsel, to the

following revised case schedule as specified below and

respectfully request that the Court so approve.

Good cause exists in support of this stipulation. This

action encompasses seven separate administrative claims spanning

over several years. As a result, the parties expect to

participate in numerous depositions and voluminous documents have

been produced and continue to be sought and/or otherwise

obtained. While the parties have commenced written discovery, an

extension of this action’s discovery and remaining deadlines are

warranted because: (1) new counsel at the U.S. Attorney’s Office

was assigned to this case (and others) this past March, and a

continuance is necessary in order for counsel to avoid

unnecessary and likely problematic overlapping deadlines

involving both this case and others whose scheduling orders

precede his initial appearances. In fact, defendant’s counsel’s

calendar regarding inherited cases is particularly impacted in

September 2005; (2) plaintiff’s counsel has cooperated with

defendant’s counsel in allowing him time to familiarize himself

with the voluminous issues and documents related to the case. 

The parties, however, therefore need additional time by which to

complete written discovery, resolve potential discovery disputes

and depose witnesses; and (3) the parties wish to preserve the

order of deadlines/pre-trial dates as set forth in the Court’s

October 27, 2004 Scheduling Conference Order.

Based on the above, the parties hereby stipulate to the

continuance of this action’s case schedule as specified below. 

The parties also request the Court to endorse this stipulation by

way of formal order.
