STIPULATION On September 22, 2010, this Court issued an Order setting certain pre-trial deadlines including a deadline for completion of mediation (February 28, 2011) and a deadline for service of initial written discovery and any request for an independent medical examination of plaintiff (October 15, 2010). The parties, through their respective counsel, have been meeting and conferring regarding strategies related to obtaining additional medical evidence pertaining to plaintiff's condition. The parties are still in the process of conferring as to whether an alternative approach is agreeable and feasible, and have thus agreed to postpone the deadline set forth in this Court's September 22, 2010 Order from October 15, 2010 to October 29, 2010, if the Court will permit. This brief extension stands to preserve the parties' respective resources and to allow them to pursue a potentially more cost and time-effective approach to reaching an informal resolution of this matter. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, AGREED AND REQUESTED THAT:

The Court's September 22, 2010 Order be modified as follows: The deadline for serving pre-mediation initial written discovery and any request for an independent medical examination shall be extended from October 15, 2010 to October 29, 2010.
