JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL
BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND TRIAL
DATE
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff Louis Wilkins and defendant Unum Life Insurance Company of America, through their attorneys of record, that the Trial briefing schedule and Trial date in this action should be continued briefly for good cause as follows:
One January 28, 2013, the court issued an Order Denying Cross motions for Summary Judgment and set a trial briefing schedule and trial date.
On February 28, 2013, Peter S. Sessions, lead counsel for plaintiff, was called in for jury duty and has since been placed on a jury. Therefore, plaintiff requires additional time to prepare and file his opening trial brief and supporting evidence.
As a result, the parties propose the briefing and hearing schedule be continued to the following dates, or the nearest convenient dates for the Court:
1. Plaintiff's Opening Trial brief due on March 15, 2013;
2. Defendant's Responsive Trial brief due April 5, 2013;
3. Plaintiff's Reply Brief due April 10, 2013; and
4. Bench Trial on May 3, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., or such other date as the Court finds convenient.
