Case No. 2:12-cv-00091-KJD-GWF

Plaintiff,

13 v.
14 MERCURY CASUALTY COMPANY,
15

Defendant.

STIPULATION AND ORDER

18

COME NOW, Plaintiff DAVID BRIGHAM YOUNG, through his attorney of

19 record, Barbara I. Johnston, Esq., and Defendant MERCURY CASUALTY COMPANY,
20 by and through its attorneys, HAGER & DOWLING, P.C., and hereby submit this
21 stipulation and order to the Court to extend the briefing schedule on the cross motions for
22 summary judgment filed by the parties, docket numbers 146 and 149.
23

The reason for the continued briefing schedule is that Plaintiff’s counsel, Barbara

24 Johnston, recently underwent medical treatment upon admission to a hospital for an
25 ongoing health issue. This has seriously impacted her ability to prepare a timely response
26 to the motion for summary judgment filed by Mercury, as well as to deal with any
27 resulting opposition filed to Mr. Young’s motion. The Court previously granted a motion
28 brought by Mr. Young on largely the same basis to continue the dispositive motion
1
STIPULATION AND ORDER.

1 deadline 1, but the parties only received notice after or shortly before they filed their
2 motions on the then-existent deadline of July 14. 2 The parties seek the Court provide them
3 with the relief afforded by its earlier order continuing the deadline to file the motions for
4 summary judgment by extending the deadline to file oppositions and replies.
5

The parties propose a new opposition deadline of August 24, 2015, with reply briefs

6 due on September 8, 2015. The parties propose a new deadline of August 10, 2015 for
7 Plaintiff’s counsel to file an opposition to Mercury’s Motion in Limine, docket number
8 145.
9

Additionally, the parties seek consolidation of the hearings on the dual motions

10 related to Dr. Alan Berman, docket numbers 139 and 145. The basis for this request is the
11 extensive overlap facts and issues presented in the competing motions. A single hearing
12 on this matter is in the interests of all parties and the Court in reducing the number of
13 appearances and hearings held.
