STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRE-TRIAL AND TRIAL SCHEDULE; ORDER
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel that a new pre-trial and trial schedule be set as follows:
| Event: | Present Date: | Requested New Date: |
| Government Exhibit List Due | January 13, 2015 | April 16, 2015 |
| Voir Dire Questions Due | January 15, 2015 | April 20, 2015 |
| Lodging Video/Transcripts Due | January 15, 2015 | April 20, 2015 |
| Trial Briefs Due | January 15, 2015 | April 20, 2015 |
| Motions in Limine Hearing | January 15, 2015 | April 20, 2015 – 1:30 p.m |
| Trial | January 21, 2015 | May 5, 2015 – 8:30 a.m. |
The extended litigation dates are necessary because the Defense Expert had emergency surgery which will require at least one month for recovery. Also, upon government review of discovery of the expert report, it is not clear that the Defense Expert had access to all items necessary to review. The requested continuance will conserve time and resources for all parties and the court, and may increase the parties' ability to resolve this matter short of trial.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. Time is excluded in the interests of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
