Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:15-cv-12828
District Judge Victoria A. Roberts
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti

v.
WEST JEFFERSON
RAILROAD COMPANY,
Defendant.
___________________________________/
ORDER EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR THE PARTIES’ JOINT
STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS AND NOTICE ON CONVERTING
THE MOTIONS TO A TRIAL ON THE BRIEFS
On April 24, 2017, I ordered the parties to file a joint statement of material
facts, limited to 15 pages, along with their decision as to whether the pending
cross-motions for summary judgment should be converted to a trial on the briefs,
on or before May 12, 2017. On May 9, 2017, I extended the deadline one week,
making both items due on May 19, 2017.
This matter came before me for a telephonic status conference on May 19,
2017, during which the parties, through counsel, indicated that despite working
diligently on the joint list, an additional extension would be required. Accordingly,
the deadline for filing both the joint statement and the parties’ decision related to
the briefs shall be extended to JUNE 2, 2017.

In addition, the parties shared that the 15-page limit would likely not be
possible. They were unsure as to how many additional pages would be necessary,
but expected something in the range of 70-80. Accordingly, I will extend the page
limit to 80 pages. If the number of pages is substantially more than that, the parties
shall call my chambers ON OR BEFORE MAY 23, 2017 to inform me of the
projected final number of pages.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 19, 2017
