The parties in this case respectfully request modification of the existing Scheduling Order as follows: The parties agree to extend the fact discovery cut-off only to allow the completion of the deposition of Malinda Dotson, and to allow for the Independent Medical Examination of Malinda Dotson, both of which are currently scheduled for September 1, 2010. Accordingly, the parties also agree to extend the expert disclosure deadline to September 24, 2010 and the expert discovery cut-off to October 29, 2010. Further, the parties agree to move the last day to file a motion for summary judgment from November 12, 2010 to November 19, 2010. The parties have been acting in good faith in complying with the current schedule but will be unable to complete discovery under the present deadline due to scheduling conflicts on behalf of the Plaintiff. The parties believe it would impair proper preparation and evaluation of this case if the requested modification is not granted. IT IS SO STIPULATED: DATED: August 23, 2010 LAW OFFICES OF JAMES A.
