STIPULATION TO EXTEND DRAFTING SCHEDULE FOR THE PROPOSED JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER
(FIRST REQUEST)
ANDREW P. GORDON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pursuant to LR 7-1, LR IA 6-1, and LR IA 6-2, Plaintiff Snow Covered Capital, LLC (“SCC”) and Defendants Estate of Andrew Fonfa, Weidner, and Jacoby, stipulate and agree that each party shall have additional time to draft and file the Proposed Joint Pretrial Order. This is the first request for an extension.
The extensions are necessary because two of the Diamond McCarthy, LLP partners most involved in representing SCC have been recently unavailable and are likely to be unavailable in the near or even medium terms, due to sudden medical problems that could not have been anticipated. These problems have been explained to defense counsel and they have agreed to the extensions as a result. The short extensions sought here will allow Diamond McCarthy, LLP and SCC to adapt to these very changed circumstances and still produce the documents required.
On July 15, 2022, this Court ordered the parties to “confer on a schedule to conclude this case.” See ECF No. 264. The parties did confer and filed their “Response to the Scheduling Issues Raised in this Court's July 15, 2022 Order,” see ECF No. 269, on August 5, 2022. As part of that response, the parties jointly proposed a schedule relative to the drafting and filing of the Proposed Joint Pretrial Order. Id. at 2. The Court approved that schedule by minute order dated August 8, 2022. See ECF No. 270.
The parties proposed to extend the schedule for drafting and filing the Joint Proposed Pretrial Order by approximately two weeks. The proposed changes would be as follows:
Task
Current Due Date
Proposed Due Date
The parties are to exchange their drafts of the proposed pretrial order.
November 7, 2022
November 21, 2022
Each party is to provide the opposing parties with their written objections and comments to the November drafts.
December 9, 2022
December 21, 2022
The Proposed Joint Pretrial Order is to be filed in this Court.
January 20, 2023
February 3, 2023
This stipulation is submitted for the limited purpose of extending the above deadlines and is without prejudice to any parties' rights.
WHEREAS, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the parties respectfully request that this Court endorse the foregoing stipulation, and the extensions proposed therein, and make this stipulation the Court's own order.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
