The parties in the above-captioned matter hereby stipulate as follows:

1. WHEREAS the current scheduling order of April 14, 2016 provides for a deadline to

complete private mediation of August 31, 2016.

2. WHEREAS the parties have been diligently engaged in discovery, including the following:

a. Arranging for two defense medical examinations of plaintiff: a neurological

examination that was completed on July 11, 2016 and a neuropsychological

examination to be conducted on August 30, 2016;

8/22/16);

c. Scheduling additional depositions, including the deposition of plaintiff’s neurologist,

Dr. Helman (originally scheduled on 8/22/16 but continued to 9/20/16 at the request

of the witness), and plaintiff’s colleague, Dr. Lubben (9/9/16);

d. Conferring regarding additional depositions to be set, including the flight attendant

involved in the subject incident. 

3. Notwithstanding the parties’ diligent efforts, the case is not yet ripe for mediation. Plaintiff

alleges that she has sustained significant and permanent injuries and a significant loss of

income. These claims require further investigation before a meaningful mediation can be

conducted. 

4. Therefore the parties propose that the deadline to conduct private mediation be extended by

approximately 80 days, from August 31, 2016 to November 18, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
