Plaintiff, The Erection Company (“TEC), and Defendants, Archer Western Contractors, LLC
(“AWC”), Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (“Travelers”) and Postel Industries,
Inc., (“Postel”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby jointly move for an Order extending
the deadline in which the parties have to file a Joint Pretrial Order with the Court. Pursuant to the
Court’s Order filed July 2, 2015, the Court ordered that the parties file a Joint Pretrial Order with the
Court. (See Dkt. #250). The parties have previously exchanged draft pretrial orders, but request further
extension of the Joint Pretrial Order deadline to August 6, 2015 for the following reasons: (1)
Plaintiff’s lead counsel will be out of the office for a period of time due to the birth of his child; (2) in

anticipation of the meeting between counsel, TEC, AWC, and Travelers have exchanged initial drafts

2

of the Joint Pretrial Order, but additional time is required for TEC’s, AWC’s, Travelers’, and Postel’s

3

counsel to meet and discuss the contents of the Joint Pretrial Order; (3) to afford the Court the

4

opportunity to decide AWC’s Motion to Stay (Dkt #248), though the filing of the pretrial ordes is not

5

dependent on a decision on AWC’s Motion to Stay; and (4) the parties are still having discussions

6

whether to exclude the respective sureties from the trial pursuant to a stipulation, thereby streamlining

7

the trial herein. The brief extension of the deadline to file the pretrial order will allow the parties to

8

review the proposed drafts, discuss stipulations, and hold a meaningful meet and confer on the Joint

9

Pretrial Order. Consequently, the parties jointly request an Order from the Court extending the
