Plaintiff’s

counsel,

Jon

S.

Allin,

also

states

in

the

September 27, 2012 Stipulation as follows:

3

1.
Counsel
for
plaintiff Alexandra
Nicholson, Jon S. Allin, is presently winding up
his private law practice to commence a position
with the California Attorney General’s Office and
is therefore legally prohibited from continuing to
represent individual parties in private litigation,
including in the present action.

2.
Plaintiff Alexandra Nicholson is actively
seeking new legal representation in the present
action but has not yet retained new counsel.
Plaintiff anticipates that retaining new counsel
and allowing that counsel sufficient time to become
familiar with the case and to effectively undertake
the representation will reasonably require that the
dates and deadlines contemplated in the existing
scheduling order should be continued at least 60
days.
