(Second Request)
CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff and Counter-defendant, NEVADA TITLE COMPANY, ("NTC") by its counsel, Steven J. Parsons, of LAW OFFICES OF STEVEN J. PARSONS, and Defendant and Counter-claimant, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY, ("ACE American") by its counsel, Michael W. Melendez, of COZEN O'CONNOR, hereby stipulate and agree that NTC shall have to and including Monday, April 8, 2019 to respond to ACE American's Motion to Modify Scheduling Order (Doc. 31).
The parties also stipulate that NTC shall have up to and including Monday, April 22, 2019 to respond to ACE's discovery requests.
This Stipulation between the parties to allow NTC an additional time to respond to the Motion to Modify Scheduling Order is the second request; Plaintiff asserts it is necessitated by current health conditions of Plaintiff's counsel Steven J. Parsons;1 it is also necessitated by the tragic and untimely loss of a family member of Plaintiff's co-counsel; and is not simply for the purposes of delay.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to modify scheduling order (ECF NO. 31) is DENIED as MOOT.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. Mr. Parsons, as good cause shown, submits that he has endured a series of foot injuries, and as a diabetic, he has a history of such injuries becoming infected and posing further dire risks to his health. These injuries and the treatment of the injuries has caused his absence from timely attending to the Response to Defendant's Motion and Defendant's discovery requests.
On Friday, March 22, 2019, upon presenting with a recurring injury already the subject of care, treatment, and absence from the office, the wound care physician attending to Mr. Parsons immediately sent him to the hospital. Mr. Parsons was discharged late Monday, March 25, 2019. However Friday, March 29, 2019, Mr. Parsons learned from his orthopedist that he must submit to surgery, Thursday, April 4, 2019 to deal with the MRSA-infection and restructuring of the wound. In total, Mr. Parsons has been on medication and doctors' orders to stay off of his feet and not undertake office work since the first recurrence of his injuries over three (3) weeks ago. In that time, Mr. Parsons has been in the office only sporadically for less that two (2) days.
