STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL

DATES AND PROPOSED ORDER THEREON

1. This stipulation is executed by all parties who have appeared in and are affected

by this action;

2. Due to the recent appointment of Kristi Kapetan to the Superior Court bench, this

case will need to be reassigned to another attorney at the United States Attorney’s Office. Ms.

Kapetan is the only attorney who has worked on this file. The person to whom the case will be

assigned is has other cases that he is working on that need his immediate attention. He needs

time to review the file and prepare the case for trial. Discovery has not been completed and

additional time is needed to complete it. A dispositive motion is likely should the parties not

reach a settlement. 

3. In addition, the Plaintiff in this case is pro per. He is attempting to secure counsel

to assist him and has been unable to do so as of yet.
