Plaintiff William Clute and Defendant American Income Life Insurance 

Company (“parties”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to a 

brief continuance of pre-trial dates and the trial date to accommodate the parties' 

schedules and to promote efficiency and economy. 

Pursuant to this Court’s Scheduling Order, the following dates and deadlines 

are currently in place: March 11, 2016, designation of experts; March 18, 2016, 

designation of rebuttal experts; May 13, 2016, discovery cutoff; June 14, 2016, last 

day to file motions for summary judgment; July 12, 2016, last day to schedule 

hearings on motions for summary judgment; August 19, 2016, pretrial order due; 

August 26, 2016, pretrial conference; and October 3, 2016, trial. 

The parties have conferred and wish to participate in a mediation session 

conducted by a private neutral during the month of April 2016. The parties believe 

a small number of key depositions can be taken prior to the mediation session, but 

that without the requested continuance of dates and deadlines, the parties would be 

required to devote extensive time and financial energy, which resources will not be 

necessary, if the matter resolves at mediation. 

Accordingly, the parties request an extension of approximately sixty days of 

the following dates and deadlines: 

Expert Discovery Disclosure Deadline: From March 11, 2016 to May 13, 

2016 

Rebuttal Expert Disclosure Deadline: from March 18, 2016 to June 3, 2016 

Discovery Cutoff: From May 13, 2016 to July 15, 2016 

Deadline for Filing of Motions for Summary Judgment : From June 14, 2016 

to August 9, 2016
