LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.

WHEREAS, the pre-trial conference in this matter is currently scheduled for January 8, 2015;

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiff, Ronald Moore ("Moore"), will be out of the country on January 8, 2015 and unable to attend the pre-trial conference as currently scheduled;

IT IS SO STIPULATED AND REQUESTED.
