The undersigned has received the parties' stipulated request to continue the trial date from October 18, 2010, to sometime in "mid-February or late-April, 2011." The reasons stated therein include: (1) an alleged inability to complete discovery due to delays in scheduling depositions of Kaiser Hospital physicians and various FRCP 30(b)(6) and percipient witness employees of American Airlines; (2) the pregnancy of defense counsel and the due date falling at or around the October trial date; (3) a four-week trial in the Central District of California that, due allegedly to a motion to continue, is now scheduled to begin in November for plaintiff's counsel; and (4) to allow experts sufficient time to properly prepare their reports. This request will be addressed at the discovery dispute hearing currently scheduled for 11 A.M. TOMORROW, JUNE 22.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 21, 2010.
