STIPULATION TO EXTEND THE EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION DEADLINE TO MAY 21, 2013, and [proposed] ORDER

WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.

Defendants, the United States of American and the Internal Revenue Service, and plaintiff George Perrenod, through their respective counsel, stipulate as follows:

Currently, an Early Neutral Evaluation ("ENE") is scheduled in this matter for April 30, 2013, and briefs for the ENE are due April 26 at 12:00 p.m. Unfortunately, the ENE cannot take place as scheduled due to an injury suffered counsel for George Perrenod, Cindy Ho. Cindy Ho suffered a severe injury last night and will not be able to work for the next four days, possibly more. Her left shoulder blade is fractured in two places. She will be examined by an orthopedic surgeon today to determine whether surgery will be necessary. She is currently resting at home in an "immobilizer" and has been instructed by her doctor to minimize movement.

Consequently, Cindy will not be able to prepare and file the ENE statement for the Perrenod matter and will likely be unable to appear at the ENE scheduled on April 30, 2013.

The parties have contacted the ENE evaluator, Mark Penskar, and he is available May 14, 2013.

This extension of time will not affect any other dates included in the Court's scheduling order. The ENE deadline was previously extended by Court order from February 15, 2013, to April 30, 2013. (Dkt. No. 24).

For these reasons, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Early Neutral Evaluation deadline of April 30, 2013, be extended to May 14, 2013.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
