A modification of the prior agreed upon schedule is needed because 

Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse is receiving treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer 

which metastasized initially to her liver and progressed to her lungs, throat, and 

spine. Despite chemotherapy treatment, Counsel was recently informed that his 

spouse’s cancer has continued to progress with spinal tumor expanding into the 

spinal canal and unequivocal progress of multiple tumors resulting in a massively 

enlarged liver. In addition, on January 10, 2015, complications arising from this 

disease process resulted in Counsel’s spouse’s hospitalization. Despite attempts to 

slow the progression of the Cancer with at least 8 separate lines of chemotherapy 

treatment Counsel’s spouses’ cancer has unequivocally progressed to the point 

where her physicians have stated on January 13, 2015 that they “would be very 

surprised to still be treating her one year from now” without some significant 

response to treatment that has yet to occur. 

Counsel notes that the modified briefing schedule continues to require any 

reply brief to be filed by the same March 26, 2015 date as previously set by this 

Court. Consequently, the modification results in a reduction of time for Counsel to 

prepare any reply and does not extend the time for this matter to be submitted to the 

Court for decision. Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any 

inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.
