anniversary. Plaintiff’s counsel did not have any time to work on the
response to Defendants’ comprehensive motion seeking summary
judgment on all claims until March 21, 2022. Plaintiff’s counsel has been
7
working on the response, but has not had time to complete it because of
8
intervening factors that was somewhat unexpected.

2. While Plaintiff’s counsel was on vacation, on March 11, 2022 Plaintiff’s

seven months of waiting due to COVID-19 delays a jury and a courtroom
has been confirmed for a jury trial commencing at 8:30 a.m. on March 30,
15
2022. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s counsel had to divert efforts from working
16

3. While Plaintiff’s counsel was in trial in California in the Raffele matter his
mother passed away at the age of 89. Consequently Plaintiff’s counsel was
20
21
called away on Monday evening and his co-counsel had to finish the trial
22
without him. Since that time Plaintiff’s counsel has been in mourning and
23
has been attending to personal business related to his mother’s death.
24
Plaintiff’s counsel is the personal representative of his mother’s estate.
