STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING PRETRIAL DEADLINES BY ONE WEEK
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr. District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES, through their attorneys of record, as follows:
The parties request a one-week extension of the current pretrial deadlines in this matter, in order to allow additional time for the Court's ruling to be issued on defendants' pending motion for summary judgment and to allow the 9/1/15 settlement conference to take place prior to the pretrial deadlines maturing.
If defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted in its entirety, the ruling will eliminate the parties' need to incur the significant costs associated with pretrial preparation. If partial summary judgment is granted, the ruling will dictate what claims are going forward to trial, and the parties will require this information prior to preparing their evidence and arguments.
Additionally, the first of the current pretrial deadlines falls on the date the parties were recently ordered to appear at a settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins, on September 1, 2015 (Docket nos. 99, 100). The parties wish to avoid the expense of pretrial preparation prior to engaging in settlement negotiations, and also wish to avoid having that deadline fall on a date where they are otherwise engaged in a court-ordered appearance at a settlement conference.
For the foregoing reasons, the parties jointly request that the pretrial deadlines be extended one week, as follows:
Last day to provide to every other party Old New
a set of all proposed exhibits and documentary
materials to be used in case in chief at trial,
together with exhibit list 9/1/15 9/8/15
Last day to file motions in limine 9/8/15 9/15/15
Last day to file oppositions to motions in limine,
joint pre-trial statement, jury instructions, voir
dire, verdict forms, statement of case, optional trial brief 9/15/15 9/22/15
Pretrial conference 9/29/15 same
Trial 10/13/15 same
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED that the current pretrial deadlines are extended by one week, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the table above.
