With this stipulation, the parties do not propose that the current hearing date of
December 13, 2016 be adjusted.
The undersigned counsel for the Plaintiff has requested this stipulation in order to
12
accommodate unusually heavy “docket congestion” which was caused, in large part, by a
13
14
serious family medical issue which required a very significant portion of his time. As a result
15
of this circumstance, the undersigned counsel for Plaintiff requires an additional two weeks of
16
time to prepare Plaintiff’s final merits brief in this case.

Since this Court modified the merits briefing schedule in response to the filing of
Defendant-Intervenor Trinity Lumber Company’s Motion to Modify Operating Schedule, the
20
merits briefing schedule in this matter has been extended only once upon a stipulation of the
21
22
parties initiated by Trinity’s counsel in order to accommodate his planned paternity leave. ECF

Doc. No. 99.
