Case No. 2:09-cv-02057-MCE-GGH
STIPULATION AND JOINT APPLICATION
TO CONTINUE THE HEARING DATE FOR
DEFENDANTS SUMMARY JUDGMENT
MOTION OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE
PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT DUE TO
HEALTH RELATED ISSUES FOR
PLAINTIFF’S COUNSEL’S FAMILY
MEMBERS
ORDER THEREON
Complaint Filed: January 26, 2009
Trial Date: January 6, 2014
24
25
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), and for good cause shown, Plaintiff
26
Linda K. DesRosiers ("Plaintiff") and Defendants The Hartford aka Hartford Fire Ins. Co. and
27
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (collectively hereinafter "Defendants"), through their
28
1
1
respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and jointly request that the Court continue the present
2
hearing date for defendants Motion for Summary Judgment or in the alternative Partial Summary
3
Judgment from February 21, 2013 to March 21, 2013. This twenty eight day (28) requested extension of
4
the hearing date and all related dates (Opposition and Reply )will not impact the trial date or any other
5
deadlines, and will still allow these dispositive motions to be heard approximately ten months before trial.
6
THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:
7
WHEREAS this matter has recently been set for trial on January 14, 2014.
8
WHEREAS per a prior extension the hearing date was set for February 21, 2013.
9
WHEREAS this twenty eight (28) day extension has become necessary because Plaintiff’s
10
counsel, a sole practitioner, has had to virtually shut down his practice for the last three weeks to be with
11
his 86 year old mother who has been in St. Agnes hospital in Fresno, California as a result of a stroke.
12
Her hospital stay has included long stays in and out of ICU twice as a result of the combination of
13
breathing, heart problems and brain damage caused by the stroke. Plaintiff counsel, his brother and
14
sisters are providing 24 hour assistance and watch for his mother in the hospital during this period, which
15
could go on for a number of weeks at least. This intense care is necessary since Plaintiff’s counsel’s
16
mother is constantly trying to climb out of bed to go home and/or take off her breathing devices. This 24
17
watch is also necessary to back up the busy nurses, who because of confusion in the record administered
18
the wrong medicine during a brief break in the watch causing about a day and a half of a near coma state.
19
Plaintiff’s counsel’s shifts in this watch have been 13 to 19 hours per day. This schedule has made it
20
impossible to read, much less respond, to the motion.
21
Consequently, good cause exists for continuing the hearing date twenty eight days (28) to
22
March 21, 2013.
