STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE HEARING DATE ON
DEFENDANTS AMERCO AND U-HAUL
INTERNATIONAL, INC.'S MOTIONS TO DISMISS
Date: September 6, 2012
Subject to the Court's approval, Plaintiff Mary Bottorff ("Plaintiff") and Defendants U-Haul International, Inc. and AMRECO (collectively, "Defendants'"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby jointly STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:
1. On July 3, 2012, defendant U-Haul International, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedures 12(b)(1), (3) and (6), and 9 U.S.C. § 2 et seq. Also on July 3, 2012, defendant AMERCO filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) for lack of personal jurisdiction. AMERCO joined its motion to that of U-Haul International, Inc. pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedures 12(g)(1). Defendants' motions to dismiss (collectively "the Motions") were scheduled to be heard on August 9, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
2. On July 17, 2012, at the request of Plaintiff, the parties executed a stipulation to extend Plaintiff's time to respond to the Motions and continue the hearing to September 6, 2012. The Court entered the requested Order on July 18, 2012.
3. On August 30, 2012, counsel for Defendants suffered the loss of a close family member. Over the holiday weekend, counsel learned that he would need to travel to Boston, Massachusetts to coordinate the funeral arrangements and attend the memorial service. As a result, counsel is unable to appear for the hearing on the Motions presently scheduled for September 6, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
4. Accordingly, counsel for Plaintiff and Defendants have agreed to continue the hearing on the Motions to the Court's next available hearing date, September 20, 2012, at 2:00 p.m.
