Plaintiff-Relator Joshua Luke and Defendants, HealthSouth Corporation, HealthSouth of
Henderson, Inc., and Kenneth Bowman, hereby jointly move for a short extension of time (i.e.,

1

through Tuesday, May 21, 2019) to file a revised Joint Proposed Order Regarding Appointment

2

of Special Master (hereinafter, the “Special Master Order”). By Order dated May 9, 2019 (Doc.

3

190), the Court required the parties to file the Special Master Order by May 16, 2019. The May

4

9th Order followed a hearing on the same day during which the Court found that David Tenner

5

was qualified to be named as the Special Master in this case. During that hearing, the Court

6

asked the parties to submit the Special Master Order and instructed that the revised Order should

7

define the scope of the Special Master’s assignment and any relevant dates concerning the Special

8

Master’s review.

9

The parties have been working to coordinate schedules between themselves and with Mr.

10

Tenner, so that the appropriate information can be set forth in the Special Master Order. Given

11

conflicting schedules, however, the parties need a short extension of time to file the Special

12

Master Order. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant an extension of

13

time (through May 21, 2019) to file the Special Master Order.
