DEFENDANT AMERIQUEST 

MORTGAGE COMPANY’S REQUEST 

TO CONTINUE DEADLINE RE 

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE 

STATEMENT AND ORDER 

“AS MODIFIED”

Defendant Ameriquest Mortgage Company (“Ameriquest”) hereby requests that 

the parties’ joint pretrial conference statement deadline be continued for approximately two 

weeks. The current deadline for the revised pretrial statement is October 5, 2007. Counsel for 

Ameriquest is out of town in Washington, DC attending depositions in an unrelated matter the 

week of October 1-5, 2007. 

As set forth in the attached electronic mail dated October 1, 2007 from 

Ameriquest’s counsel to Plaintiff’s counsel, Ameriquest has not received Plaintiff’s proposed 

revisions to the joint pretrial statement. Ameriquest’s counsel followed up on her email to 

Plaintiff’s counsel by having her assistant leave a telephonic message for Plaintiff’s counsel on 

October 2, 2007. To date, Ameriquest has received no response to either its email or telephone

AMC’S REQUEST AND ORDER – CASE NO. S-04-1855 FCD 

message. 

Prior to making this request, Ameriquest requested that Plaintiff stipulate to a brief 

continuance to file the revised joint pretrial statement, as set forth in the proposed stipulation 

attached to Ameriquest’s counsel’s October 1, 2007 electronic mail message. Ameriquest has not 

received a response to its request. 

Given that Ameriquest has not received a response to its email or any proposed 

revisions from Plaintiff to the pretrial statement, completing the revisions to the joint pretrial 

statement as requested by this Court will prove difficult given that the parties need to coordinate 

the revisions and their counsel are currently located in two different time zones. Ameriquest 

therefore respectfully request that this Court continue the joint pretrial statement due date. 

Alternatively, Ameriquest requests that it be permitted to submit an individual revised pretrial 

statement on or before October 12, 2007. 

 A continuance of the above-referenced deadline will not require a continuance of 

either the March 28, 2008 pretrial conference hearing, or the May 6, 2008 trial date.
