IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff Louis Wilkins and defendant

2

Unum Life Insurance Company of America, through their attorneys of record, that the Trial

3

briefing schedule and Trial date in this action should be continued briefly for good cause as

4

follows:

5
6

One January 28, 2013, the court issued an Order Denying Cross motions for Summary
Judgment and set a trial briefing schedule and trial date.

7

On February 28, 2013, Peter S. Sessions, lead counsel for plaintiff, was called in for jury

8

duty and has since been placed on a jury. Therefore, plaintiff requires additional time to prepare

9

and file his opening trial brief and supporting evidence.

10
11

As a result, the parties propose the briefing and hearing schedule be continued to the
following dates, or the nearest convenient dates for the Court:

12

1.

Plaintiff’s Opening Trial brief due on March 15, 2013;

13

2.

Defendant’s Responsive Trial brief due April 5, 2013;

3.

Plaintiff’s Reply Brief due April 10, 2013; and

convenient.
