WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

James Winston and Martha Winston,

Husband and Wife,

Plaintiffs,

v.

American Family Mutual Insurance

Company,

Defendant.

NO. CIV-04-0342-PHX-SMM

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Extend the Deadline to File the

Joint Proposed Pretrial Order (the “Motion”). (Dkt. 114.) Defense counsel states that the

Motion is “reluctantly filed due to plaintiffs’ counsel’s lack of timely cooperation in

preparing these documents.” (Id. at 1.) The sequence of events and communications

described in the Motion supports this assertion.

This is not the first time defense counsel has requested an extension of the deadline

on the grounds of plaintiffs’ counsel’s failure to cooperate in preparing the Joint Proposed

Pretrial Order. See dkts. 99, 108. Given defense counsel’s diligence in requesting

extensions, the Court will grant a short extension of the deadline. However, counsel for all

parties are informed that the Court will not tolerate any further requests for extensions based

on either counsel’s failure to cooperate. Accordingly,
