Linda K. Desrosiers (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants The Hartford aka Hartford Fire Ins. Co. and

1

deadline of September 29, 2012 for hearing dispositive motions and continue the deadline for

2

hearing dispositive motions approximately 45 days. This request will not impact the trail date or

3

any other deadlines, and will still allow dispositive motions to be heard approximately eight

4

months before trial.

5

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

6

WHEREAS this matter is set for trial July 29, 2013.

7

WHEREAS the deadline for the Court to hear dispositive motions is September 29, 2012.

8

WHEREAS counsel for Plaintiff recently concluded a five-week jury trial that began July

9

9, 2012, and counsel for both parties have an impacted trial preparation schedule over the next

10

several months.

11

WHEREAS lead counsel for Defendant, Robert J. Schnack has only just returned from a

12

medical leave of absence that followed a four-week jury trial of his own and, due to the length of

13

that medical leave, has not had sufficient opportunity to prepare a dispositive motion.

14

Consequently, good cause exists for continuing the deadline to hear dispositive motions as

15

follows: The deadline of September 29, 2012 for hearing dispositive motions shall be continued to

16

November 15, 2012.

17

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
