STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER
(SECOND REQUEST)
Pursuant to LR IA 6-1, Plaintiff MARTIN SUNDAY UWAH and Defendants LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, JOSEPH LOMBARDO, KEVIN MENON and RICARDO LOPEZ, (collectively “LVMPD Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and request that this Court extend the deadline to file the Joint Pretrial Order by an additional 90(31) days, extending the deadline from Friday, October 27, 2022, to Thursday, January 25, 2024. This is the second stipulation for extension of time to file the Joint Pretrial Order.
This Request for an extension of time is not sought for any improper purpose or other purpose of delay. This request for extension is based upon the following:
Counsel for Plaintiff initiated this request due to their scheduling conflicts limiting their ability to timely and adequately meet and confer with Defendants' counsel regarding the joint pretrial order. Specifically, Ms. McLetchie was infected with COVID-19 from September 18 through September 24, 2023, severely limiting her ability to work during that time.
Additionally, Ms. McLetchie and Mr. Wolpert travelled outside of the jurisdiction from September 30 through October 16, 2023, and had limited Internet access during that time.
When Ms. McLetchie returned to the jurisdiction, she was again quite ill (non-COVID), which significantly limited her ability to work.
Further, the parties wish to continue discussing the possibility of resolution before beginning the trial process.
WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court extend the deadline to file the Joint Pretrial Order by up to and including Thursday, January 25, 2024.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
