The request to continue is based on plaintiff's recent treatment of injuries at issue in this litigation. Plaintiff underwent bicep surgery on January 4, 2023. His recovery timeline is presently unknown. As a result, significant facts continue to develop, and critical tasks have been unavoidably delayed, which in turn has delayed experts on both sides from rendering opinions related to plaintiff's prognosis and need for future treatment, if any. Based on plaintiff's ongoing recovery from surgery, the parties respectfully assert that good cause for continuance of the trial date and pretrial deadlines is present.
ORDER
Based upon the foregoing stipulation of the parties, the Trial Date is extended to August 14, 2023 and the corresponding pretrial deadlines are extended as listed above.
