Defendants.

indemnification following a windstorm loss that occurred on or

about January 4, 2008. Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs’

 Because oral argument was not of material assistance, the 1

Court ordered this matter submitted on the briefing. E.D. Local

Rule 230(g).

2

Plaintiffs’ counsel, George E. Murphy, seeks a continuance of

sixty (60) days for completion of that discovery to and including

July 14, 2010. According to Mr. Murphy’s Declaration in support

of the Motion, an illness and hospitalization in April of 2010

have prevented him from completing discovery by the within

existing deadline of May 14, 2010 for doing so.

Counsel for Defendant Allstate has not opposed Plaintiffs’

request, indicating their willingness to “stipulate to any

reasonable accommodation.” Def.’s Response, 1:20-21. Given that

non-opposition, and good cause appearing therefor, Plaintiffs’

Motion (Docket No. 14) is hereby GRANTED. The deadline for 1

completing non-expert discovery is extended to July 14, 2010. 

All other dates established by the Court’s August 10, 2009

Pretrial Scheduling Order remain unchanged. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 2, 2010
