THE JOINT PRE TRIAL ORDER
9
3.
By Decision and Order dated August 9, 2019, the Court granted in part and denied
10
in part Travelers Motion for Summary Judgment and denied Plaza’s Motion for Summary
11
Judgment.
12
4.
In that same Order, the Court referred this case to the United States Magistrate
13
Judge for a mandatory settlement conference. The Court also stayed the parties’ obligation to file
14
their joint pretrial order until 10 days after the settlement conference, which would have been
15
November 8, 2019.
16
5.
By Order dated August 13, 2019, the Court issued an Order requiring the parties to
17
appear before Magistrate Judge Koppe on October 29, 2019, to participate in a mandatory
18
settlement conference. The Court also required that mediation statements be served on Judge
19
Koppe’s mailbox in the Clerk’s Office, on or before October 22, 2019.

REASONS WHY THE DEADLINES CANNOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN
THE CURRENT SCHEDULE
3
9.
Over the past week, the parties have exchanged numerous emails, together with
4
drafts of the Joint Pretrial Order. The parties have conferred by phone to attempt to resolve
5
disputes regarding those facts to which all parties will agree. The parties also have contacted and
6
firmed up the availability of trial witnesses, consistent with the suggested trial dates being
7
submitted to the Court as part of the Joint Pretrial Order.

parties to resolve prior to submission of the finalized joint Pretrial Order.
10
11
Notwithstanding the diligent efforts of the parties, there remain issues for the
11.
The parties’ efforts to resolve these issues were interrupted and delayed by the
birth of the granddaughter of Plaintiffs’ lead attorney this morning.
12
12.
Plaintiffs immediately reached out to Defendant’s counsel, requesting an
13
additional one week extension in light of the circumstances. By e-mail this morning, Defendant
14
indicated that it was fully prepared to file the Joint Pretrial Order on November 15, but would not
15
oppose Plaintiffs’ motion in light of this unforeseen circumstance and in exchange for the
16
undersigned’s agreement, (a) to complete all sections of the Joint Pretrial Memorandum, other
17
than deposition designations, by November 15, and (b) to provide Defendant’s counsel with
18
Plaintiffs’ remaining deposition designations by the morning of November 18, 2019. The
19
undersigned made that commitment by reply e-mail earlier today.
20
13.
In light of the foregoing, good cause exists to extend this deadline despite there
21
being less than 21 days before the Joint Pretrial Order is presently due.
