STIPULATION AND ORDER

CONTINUING SUMMARY JUDGMENT

HEARING DATE 

The parties, through their respective counsel of record, stipulate continue the

hearing date for summary judgment and/or an alternative partial summary judgment

from its currently scheduled date of March 8, 2010, at 9:00 AM, to March 22, 2010, at

9:00 AM. The parties stipulate the opposition will be due 14 days before March 22,

2010 and the reply will be due 7 days before March 22, 2010. Plaintiffs’ basis for this

continuance request is that plaintiffs’ counsel is not in a position to file an opposition to

the motion that would be in conformance with the local rules, and fully set forth

plaintiffs’ arguments. Due to the press of business, plaintiffs’ counsel, a sole

practitioner, simply does not have adequate time to completely and fairly present the

plaintiff’s opposition under the current time limits. Accordingly, defense counsel has

courteously stipulated to the continuance to March 22, 2010. Both counsel have

looked at the pre-trial order and are of the opinion that this brief continuance will have

no effect on further requirements as set forth in the pre-trial order.
