STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES FOR
AN ORDER CONTINUING THE
PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND TRIAL:
(LR 143, 144)
Hon. John A. Mendez
The Parties, Plaintiff The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York ("Plaintiff"), and Defendant Peter Sfakianos, M.D. ("Defendant"), through their attorneys of record, hereby request that this Court continue the pretrial conference currently set for March 1, 2013 and trial currently set for April 29, 2013, for approximately 75 days for good cause as follows:
U.S. Life is currently reviewing Dr. Sfakianos' claim for residual disability benefits. That review is not yet complete and additional time is needed to complete the review. Before expending judicial and litigation resources to proceed to trial, the parties wish to give U.S. Life the time needed to complete the review of the claim. Therefore, the parties submit this stipulation for an order extending the date of the pretrial conference and trial date to the following proposed dates, or to dates as close thereto that best accommodate this Court:
Final Pretrial Conference: May 3, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.;
Jury Trial: July 15, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
The Parties shall file a joint pretrial conference statement one week before the pretrial conference. SO STIPULATED:
