Re:
Bill Elliott, as Administrator of the Estate of Kelly Elliot, Deceased v.
Hamilton Stevenson, eta/; U.S. District Court No.: 3:12-CV-00152-JLH
Your Honor,
On September 19, 2012, Richard Lusby, attorney for Hamilton Stevenson, and I
conferred regarding Rule 26(f) issues. The Rule 26(f) report is currently due on October 4,
2012.
Unfortunately, Plaintiffs efforts to locate Double J Transport, LLC and serve it with
process continue to be unfruitful.
Because Double J has not been served, both Richard Lusby and myself agree that
extending the deadline for the submitting a Rule 26(f) report would be appropriate. The
parties have also agreed that the prohibition on discovery prior to the Rule 26(f) conference
would not prohibit discovery from separate Defendant, Hamilton Stevenson, related to the
identity and location of Double J Transport, LLC.
Sincerely,
Dustin H. Jones
DHJ/kg
