Whereas, lead counsel for Defendants, Kevin Gilbert, recently left employment with the 

law firm representing Defendants, and on February 23, 2015 a Notice of Designation of Counsel 

was filed by Defendants designating a new lead counsel for Defendants, Blake Loebs;

Whereas, discovery regarding the defendant officers has been delayed due to the departure 

of Mr. Gilbert and pending negotiation and entry of a stipulated protective order, which was filed 

in amended form on February 27, 2015;

Whereas, Defendants have learned of the need to file an amended answer to assert the 

affirmative defense of qualified immunity, and Plaintiff has stipulated to the filing of an amended 

answer reflecting same, which amended answer will be filed pursuant to stipulation on or shortly 

after March 2, 2015;

Whereas, good cause exists based upon the foregoing to continue the trial and pretrial dates 

identified above by 90 days so that the Parties can complete fact discovery and prepare this case
