EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR ORDER SHORTENING TIME; Case No. 1:05-CV-01319-REC-SMS 2 

#763252 

Plaintiff Trudy G. Hemphill (“Plaintiff” or “Ms. Hemphill”) applies for an order shortening 

the notice period for Plaintiff’s Motion For Leave to Amend First Amended Complaint, filed on 

March 15, 2006 (the “Motion”), so that the Motion, which is currently noticed for April 28, 2006 

may be heard in advance of the Case Scheduling Conference, which Plaintiff has requested be 

continued from March 22, 2006 to April 6, 2006. Judicial economy and efficiency would be 

served by shortening the notice period for the Motion, and no parties would be prejudiced. 

As explained in the Motion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, service has not 

yet been completed on any defendants (other than two defendants who have been voluntarily 

dismissed). Service will be effective on defendant James J. Ryskamp, Jr., M.D., Inc. (“Ryskamp, 

Inc.”) on March 20, 2006, but it is unclear whether any person or entity will respond on behalf of 

Ryskamp, Inc. until a Personal Representative of the Estate of James J. Ryskamp, Inc. is appointed. 

A probate court hearing is scheduled for March 21, 2006 at which Plaintiff expects Judith Dickison 

Ryskamp to be appointed as Personal Representative, but the hearing has been continued in the 

past at Mrs. Ryskamp’s request and Plaintiff is uncertain whether the hearing will proceed as 

scheduled. 

No party will be prejudiced by an order shortening time, as no party has yet responded to 

the First Amended Complaint. Judicial economy and efficiency will be served by shortening the 

notice period, in that Plaintiff will immediately serve all parties with a copy of the Second 

Amended Complaint, and the parties will then be able to meet and confer in preparation for a 

Scheduling Conference, which Plaintiff has requested be set for April 7, 2006. Thus, shortening 

the notice period and granting Plaintiff’s Motion will minimize costs to all parties, and will help 

move the case forward on the Court’s docket.
