due to the unavailability of the parties’ counsel to complete pre-trial discovery and depositions 

due to surgery scheduled for plaintiff’s counsel on or about May 23, 2006. Specifically, the 

parties have been in negotiations over the monetary settlement and scope of necessary repairs to 

the subject retail store and have been attempting to avoid incurring the costs attendant with 

litigation while these settlement discussions have been occurring. However, with the 

approaching discovery deadline of May 31, 2006, defendants noticed the deposition of plaintiff 

to occur on May 25, 2006. Plaintiff also desired to conduct an expert site inspection of 

defendants’ facility. In the course of scheduling these matters, plaintiff’s counsel advised that he 

will be unavailable during the last week of May and the first week of June due to his pending 

surgery. Thereafter, counsel for defendant has had longstanding plans to be out of the country 

on vacation from June 9 until June 25, 2006. 

A. DISCOVERY CUT-OFF 

The parties now stipulate to continue the non-expert discovery deadline from May 31, 

2006 to July 28, 2006. 

B. MOTION CUT-OFF 

The current deadline for the filing of all motions including dispositive motions is June 

30, 2006. The parties stipulate that the last day for all motions, including dispositive motions, to 

be filed is now September 5, 2006. 

C. PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

In light of the above continuance request, the parties request that the Court continue the 

pretrial conference from September 11, 2006 to November 20, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 

No. 5. 

D. TRIAL DATE 

The parties request that the court continue the trial from its current date of November 28, 

2006 to January 9, 2007.
