STIPULATION CONTINUING 

FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE AND EXTENDING 

DATE OF INITIAL DISCLOSURES 

 WHEREAS the contract attorney associated with plaintiffs’ counsel, who had full 

responsibility for reviewing documents and identifying witnesses in connection with plaintiffs’ initial 

disclosure requirements under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26, passed away suddenly 

several weeks ago, and whereas plaintiffs’ counsel has only recently been able to recover most of the 

documents in the possession of said contract attorney, who resided out of state, and whereas 

plaintiffs’ counsel has scheduled a meeting with plaintiffs on June 4, 2010, for the purpose of 

reviewing these documents, discussing the identity of witnesses, etc., the parties jointly request that 

the Court continue the Further Case Management Conference, which is currently set for June 11, 

2010 at 10:30 a.m., to a date convenient to the Court in August or September 2010, and that the date 

for Initial Disclosures by all parties be extended to August 3, 2010.
