Counsel jointly proposed to the court that scheduling this case be postponed until some time after the surgeries, in order to determine whether the plaintiff will continue to work or must leave the railroad. The court agreed.
IT THEREFORE HEREBY IS ORDERED,
Another planning conference will be held at 9:00 a.m. on August 24, 2007, with the anticipation that the case can then be scheduled to trial. Plaintiff's counsel shall place the call.
