STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE PROPOSED LITIGATION PLAN (FIRST REQUEST)
The Parties through their respective counsel of record hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
This action arises from a dispute over Plaintiffs' claims of legal malpractice, breach of contract, and fraud in the defense to judgment and post-judgment settlement of a multi-million dollar underlying action for personal injury damages.
On January 4, 2023, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants appeared before the Court to be heard on Defendants' motions for reconsideration and to exclude evidence. During the hearing the Court ordered the Parties to meet and confer on a plan for further discovery, mediation, motions and trial, and to submit a proposed or stipulated litigation plan to Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach within 30 days.
Thereafter, the Parties agreed to meet and confer after having an opportunity to review the January 4, 2023 hearing transcript. However, the hearing transcript was not prepared and made to the Parties until on or about January 24, 2023.
The Parties met and conferred on January 31, 2023 and determined that they needed more time to discuss and determine their positions on the scope and timing of a proposed litigation plan and schedule for related motion practice, mediation and trial.
Wherefore, the Parties hereby stipulate and request that the deadline to file a proposed or stipulated litigation plan be extended two weeks from the current deadline of Friday, February 3, 2023, to Friday, February 17, 2023, to facilitate the Parties' efforts in meeting and conferring on and preparing a stipulated or proposed litigation plan.
This is the Parties' first request for extension on this matter.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
