STIPULATION

17
18

It is hereby stipulated by and between the parties, through their respective counsel, that the trial

19

of this matter be continued from its current October 29, 2018 date, along with other associated hearings

20
21

and deadlines. The parties are requesting a continued trial date during the court’s trial stack that begins
on or about January 28, 2019, with a specific trial date preferably in the month of February 2019. This

22
23
24

stipulation is submitted and based upon the following:
1.

That Plaintiff’s Counsel has requested this continuance and has informed Defendant’s

25

counsel that such continuance is necessary because Plaintiff’s Counsel contacted

26

Plaintiff Angela Cummings to prepare for trial and was informed that she was out of

27

state in Georgia to care for her mother who suffered a serious and life threatening

28
1

1

medical episode. Ms. Cummings informed counsel that she is unsure of when she will

2

be able to return to Nevada after dealing with this family health emergency.

3

2.

4

Counsel for the parties met and conferred and decided that with the holiday season
upcoming, and without a clear estimation of when Ms. Cummings will be able to return

5

that the best course of action is to request a continuance of the trial date for

6

approximately three months. Counsel consulted their calendars and determined that a

7
8

trial date during the court’s January 28, 2019 trial stack, preferably in February 2018

9

should be mutually convenient to the parties. This trial is expected to be short and will

10

likely take no more than two days to complete. Thus, the trial could start even mid-week

11

and be completed by the end of any given week.
