STIPULATED ORDER FURTHER
MODIFYING PRETRIAL SCHEDULING
ORDER
In order to accommodate the vacation schedule of counsel, the parties to the above-captioned matter jointly request and stipulate that the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Dkt. Nos. 20 and 35) be further modified to continue the discovery cut-off from August 1, 2012 to August 20, 2012.
I. Current Schedule
Discovery Completion: August 1, 2012
Settlement Conference: August 28, 2012
Final Pretrial Conference: November 29, 2012
Trial: January 22, 2013
I Request to Further Modify Schedule
On May 21, 2012, this Court ordered the modification of the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 35) to allow the parties' time to complete certain outstanding discovery matters, including the resolution of a discovery dispute pursuant to this Court's Local Rule 37-251. In an attempt to comply with the current discovery cut-off of August 1, 2012, Plaintiff's counsel noticed a motion to compel to be heard by the Magistrate Judge on July 20, 2012. Counsel for the Defendants, however, has asked that this hearing be continued to August 3, 2012, to accommodate a family vacation. Plaintiffs counsel has no objection to such a scheduling change, other than the fact that such a change will take the hearing past the discovery cut-off.
Both counsel agree that a continuance of the discovery cut-off until August 20, 2012, will allow the discovery matter to be heard on August 3, 2012, will provide the Magistrate Judge with sufficient time thereafter to decide the matter, and will be sufficiently ahead of the August 28, 2012 settlement conference so as not to impact that proceeding.
Based on the forgoing the parties in the above-captioned matter stipulate to and request that the deadline for the completion of discovery be extended to August 20, 2012.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
THE BURTON LAW FIRM
